Considering that the MLB trade deadline is now only a day away, this preview should be filled with dramatic tension. Lefty Tarik Skubal making potentially his final start in a Tigers’ uniform. The club’s need for young bats could force general manager Al Avila to make a bold move by dealing his top young starting pitcher. Instead, not only has talk about making a deal based around Skubal died down, but overall around the league, there has been a shocking lack of rumors, let alone actual deal-making. Other than a major move by Seattle to acquire Cincinnati Reds' ace Luis Castillo, the level of other moves can be summed up by the San Francisco Giants' acquisition of Dixon Machado.
