The Brewers’ Tarik Skubal trade offer Tigers turned down
The Los Angeles Dodgers ended up winning the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes, but that did not come without much controversy.

Mookie Betts opens up about Dodgers’ losing streak ‘rut’
The Los Angeles Dodgers must have believed that they would put an end to their losing streak on Tuesday as they had their recent trade acquisition, Tarik Skubal, on the mound.

In particular, Mookie Betts has not […] The post Mookie Betts opens up about Dodgers’ losing streak ‘rut’ appeared first on ClutchPoints .

After talking Tarik Skubal and a few other early acquisitions in the preceding pod, Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley recap the rest of the trade deadline in detail, from Adell to Zeferjahn (with many non-ex-Angels in between): the biggest surprises, the winners and losers, and the various reminders that life comes at you fast. Audio intro: […]
Giants get walked-off by Rangers on missed catch
You follow the San Francisco Giants, so you’re familiar with bad baseball. You’re well aware of it from watching the Giants, both this year and in many other years. But you’ve also become keenly alert to bad baseball through divisional foes such as the woeful Colorado Rockies, who, in most years, make you feel a […]
Rays fans get disappointing results from Freddy Peralta’s debut
The Tampa Bay Rays must have believed that they could help get the best out of Freddy Peralta after trading for him from the New York Mets prior to the deadline. Peralta was one of the best pitchers in MLB last year when he was with the Milwaukee Brewers, but his play has fallen off […] The post Rays fans get disappointing results from Freddy Peralta’s debut appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong breaks down improved play vs. lefties
The Chicago Cubs have watched Pete Crow-Armstrong develop into one of baseball’s most complete young players. His elite defense remains central to his value, but his improved production against left-handed pitching has expanded his offensive impact in 2026. Crow-Armstrong struggled badly against southpaws last season, batting .188 with a .217 on-base percentage and .594 OPS […] The post Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong breaks down improved play vs. lefties appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Noot the Way You Wanted this to Go: Dbacks 4, Padres 9
Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo started off his postgame interview stating that this game had a ‘funky rhythm’ to it, and I think that is a great way to summarize it. Eduardo Rodriguez who went 8 scoreless in his last outing, got jumped in this outing. The Padres came out of the gates with a lot […]
Brewers Reportedly Included Luis Peña In Offer To Tigers For Skubal
The Brewers were generally viewed as the top challenger to the Dodgers when the Tigers were shopping Tarik Skubal. Milwaukee has the sport’s best record and arguably its top farm system, and ownership was willing to assume the remainder of Skubal’s $32MM salary. Skubal is on the mound in Dodger blue tonight after Detroit dealt […]
Cubs’ Nico Hoerner makes Pete Crow-Armstrong MVP case after beating Dodgers
On Tuesday, the Chicago Cubs played spoiler in Tarik Skubal’s debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers. They grabbed a 5-1 victory to upset the Dodgers in the first of a three-game series, and Pete Crow-Armstrong, as per usual, was a thorn in the opposing team’s side. All season long, Crow-Armstrong has been brilliant for the […] The post Cubs’ Nico Hoerner makes Pete Crow-Armstrong MVP case after beating Dodgers appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Jacob Lombard toasts brother George for momentous home run accomplishment
Hitting home runs in their debut seems to be in the Lombard family’s blood. On Tuesday, top prospect George Lombard Jr. made his debut at shortstop for the New York Yankees, and he hit a solo shot in the fifth inning, and on an 0-2 count, no less, in their 2-0 win over the St. […] The post Jacob Lombard toasts brother George for momentous home run accomplishment appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Rockies can’t hold off the Rays late-inning comeback, lose 9-7
This was Tampa Bay Rays starter Freddy Peralta’s third time to face the Rockies this season following two starts with his previous team, the New York Mets. He came into the game with a 3-0 record at Coors in addition to a 1.23 ERA. But it didn’t seem like it would matter against a persistent […]
Rangers’ biggest mistake after 2026 MLB trade deadline
The Texas Rangers did not make a single disastrous trade at the 2026 MLB trade deadline. Their bigger error was more fundamental. The club tried to preserve two conflicting paths without committing to either one. Texas added catcher Logan O’Hoppe, right-hander Chase Silseth and left-hander Adam Macko. The Rangers also retained Jacob deGrom, Corey Seager, […] The post Rangers’ biggest mistake after 2026 MLB trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
A Bunch Of Nasty Guys: Rays 9, Rockies 7
It was an impressive showing for the Rays offense last night, as Junior Caminero’s two homers and Jonathan Aranda’s four hits led the way to a 13-9 victory. But tonight it was all about the brand new battery, as trade deadline acquisitions Freddy Peralta and and Liam Hicks both made their Rays debuts at pitcher […]
Jays Lose To Astros
Blue Jays 2 Astros 7 Not a good night. The Jays lost the game and Trey Yesavage came out the game with, what the Jays are calling left knee discomfort. It looked like more than discomfort. He was warming up for the third inning, and his left knee seemed to buckle on two warm up […]
Bats sizzled and Melton shoved in easy Tigers win
The Tigers started their post-Gage Workman era with a three-game series in Seattle against the Mariners after a day off on Monday. The pitching was magnificent and the hitters more than did their part, especially late, as the Tigers rolled to an easy 8-0 victory in the series opener. The Tigers’ starting pitcher was Troy […]
Brewers Option Brandon Sproat
The Brewers optioned rookie starter Brandon Sproat to Triple-A Nashville before tonight’s 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh. Milwaukee also optioned swingman Garrett Stallings. That opened the two spots on the pitching staff for Dustin May and Antonio Senzatela, who were acquired at the trade deadline. Lefty reliever JoJo Romero, acquired alongside May from St. Louis, is on the 15-day injured list […]

Dave Roberts’ worrisome Dalton Rushing UCL update explains Dodgers’ recent trades
The Los Angeles Dodgers should feel downright invincible after acquiring two-time Cy Young Tarik Skubal, and that may very well be the case once October begins, but they are stumbling their way through the early portion of August.

Tarik Skubal, after much controversy over the past few days following his trade from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, finally made his debut for his new ballclub.
