While there’s no guarantee that the Tigers will trade ace Tarik Skubal, they would be wise to entertain offers for him heading into the trade deadline.

The Yankees took a disappointing loss on Wednesday, with Gerrit Cole allowing a trio of homers to the Guardians in the 5-4 defeat in the Bronx.

Minneapolis – When Yoendrys Gómez joined the Minnesota Twins in the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field in Cleveland, his season hadn’t been what he’d hoped. The Tampa Bay Rays had recently designated him for assignment after he posted a 6.23 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, .275 opponents’ average, allowing 10 walks, and 13 strikeouts in 17 ⅓ innings across nine outings.

Yet the Rays have struggled consistently against the Tigers in this […]
