Tarik Skubal reacts to Detroit Tigers' MLB trade deadline moves
Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal reacted to the team's underwhelming MLB trade deadline moves while speaking from the dugout in-game on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday against Philadelphia Phillies. "I'm excited, it's the first time I've been part of a team that's acquired talent at the deadline," Skubal said during the fourth inning speaking with ESPN's Karl Ravech, Eduardo Pérez and David Cone. "I've been apart of four teams that have sold and that's not a fun place to be. ... I met a lot of them for the first time yesterday and just after the game we sat in the locker room and talked shop for probably an hour after the game and I think that's pretty cool. "I feel like we've kind of got a brand new team all of a sudden." The Tigers added five pitchers to the MLB roster at Thursday's deadline, though none are having great seasons. TRENDING: Scott Harris chose not to take what might be Tigers' best shot to win World Series Skubal, rightfully so, said he doesn't care what others are saying about the team's moves and outlook the rest of the season. There are 49 games before the 2025 playoffs begin in early October. "A lot of us don't care either," Skubal said. "We're gonna play baseball, we know what we got. We know the talent that we have and we know what it takes to win baseball games. At the end of the day that's all that matters." Buy our book: The Epic History of the Tigers Skubal earned the win Saturday in the Tigers' 7-5 win over the Phillies, tossing seven innings of three-run ball. Skubal is one of the biggest stories in baseball and not just for his on-field prolifics: He's scheduled to become a free agent after the 2026 season, where he could become the sport's first $400 million pitcher. Before then, he has two potential playoff runs to make with the Tigers in 2025 and 2026, and he and his wife, Jessica, welcomed a second child last week. [ NEW TIGERS NEWSLETTER!

"I had one last night, I had one in the clubhouse today, I'm probably gonna have another one right after this," Skubal said answering Pérez's question. "Couldn't eat any yesterday because I had to pitch." Have one for us, too, Tarik.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez sets or ties 5 MLB, team records with one home run vs. Rangers
Julio Rodriguez has had a historic start to his career. In fact, his first four seasons have featured combined home run and stolen base history never done before. Rodriguez has gone 20-20 in each of his first four seasons. That's a first in MLB history, per Mariners PR. He reached the club of one by hitting his 20th homer of the season, taking Jacob deGrom deep on Sunday. Naturally, Rodriguez also swiped a bag against the Rangers, his 21st theft of the season. MORE: Cubs' Matthew Boyd has mastered the balk pickoff move The Mariners' communications team had a lot of stat work to do, because in the process of getting to 20-20, Rodriguez set a few more marks, too. The home run was the 100th of his career. He's the third-fastest Mariners player (542 games) to 100 homers, behind just A-Rod (470) and Cal Raleigh (482). He now has the most 20-20 seasons in Mariners history, breaking a tie with A-Rod. He's also the youngest player in MLB history to record his fourth 20-20 season. MORE: Red Sox leapfrog the Yankees in the standings for first time since March And he's the third player to go 100 homers and 100 steals in his first four career seasons, joining Darryl Strawberry and Bobby Bonds. Quite the records, quite the clubs, quite the accomplishments. Rodriguez disappoints Mariners fans at times, but he remains a historically great young player. How the rest of his career plays out will determine his overall legacy. But it's special to have Rodriguez in Seattle, and this record-setting day served as the perfect reminder of that.

Detroit Tigers trade deadline tracker: Scott Harris finishes deadline with 2 late deals
The 2025 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and the Detroit Tigers were very busy. For the first time in years, they were buyers at the deadline, looking for players who can help them improve on their 64-46 record, as they sit tied for the best record in the American League with the Toronto Blue Jays. While the Tigers didn't make any huge swings, they were definitely active right down to the wire. The biggest move was trading for Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan, but the focus seemed to be on adding depth, including two starting pitchers in 41-year-old Charlie Morton from the Baltimore Orioles and 29-year-old Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins. Late Wednesday night, they made a deal with the Atlanta Braves for Rafael Montero. Here's a recap of what the Tigers did at the MLB trade deadline and some of the other biggest moves around the league: One last deal: Tigers trade Matt Manning to Philadelphia Phillies The Detroit Tigers cut former top pick Matt Manning from their 40-man roster, then traded him to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Tigers received outfielder Josueth Quinonez from the Phillies in the deal. Manning was a former top-100 prospect but could never find consistency with the Tigers or with Triple-A Toledo. Manning made appearances with the Tigers in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, posting a career 4.43 ERA and an 11-15 record. In 2025, Manning has only pitched with Triple-A Toledo and has largely worked as a reliever, putting up a 6.04 ERA in 31 appearances, with just four of those starts. He does have two saves in 50⅔ innings. Tigers' AL Central rivals Minnesota Twins blow up entire team The Minnesota Twins are going to look a lot different after the All-Star break. The Twins went totally nuclear at the trade deadline, blowing up almost their entire team, most notably by sending All-Start former shortstop Carlos Correa back to the Houston Astros, where he started his career. According to ESPN's Buster Onley, the Twins are eating $33 million of Correa's $104 million contract to get the deal done. As pointed out by Dan Hayes of The Athletic, the Twins have moved nine players since Monday. Tigers make trade at the deadline buzzer for veteran Charlie Morton Well, he certainly has been around the block. The Tigers have added 41-year-old pitcher Charlie Morton from the Baltimore Orioles, according to MLB inside Jon Heyman and confirmed by the Free Press. Morton is in his 18th MLB season and is a two-time All-Star, including in 2018 with the Houston Astros when he played for Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. Morton has a 5.43 ERA this year when pitching for the Orioles and a 7-8 record. After a disastrous start to the season, Morton started to turn the corner May 10 when he pitched just two innings against the Los Angeles Angels but allowed not hits and no runs. Since that date, Morton has a 3.62 ERA and a 7-1 record in 14 apperances. Tigers trade target David Bednar moved by Pirates to New York Yankees The David Bednar dream is dead for Tigers fans. The former All-Star who had a disastrous 2024 season before a strong rebound in 2025 for the Pirates is heading to the New York Yankees. According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Yankees are sending top catching prospect Rafael Flores and two other prospects to the Pirates for Bednar, so the price wasn't cheap. While the Tigers haven't added any names as big as Bednar, they've been very busy, trading for six pitchers this week. Tigers add more bullpen depth in trade with Rangers for Codi Heuer You can never have too many relievers, right? The Detroit Tigers continued adding to their bullpen depth Thursday when they traded for right-handed reliever Codi Heuer from the Texas Rangers, less than four hours before the MLB trade deadline. To acquire Heuer, the Tigers sent cash considerations to the Rangers. The 29-year-old will report to Triple-A Toledo. Heuer has a 3.43 ERA with 15 walks and 53 strikeouts over 39⅓ innings in 35 games at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers' organization and appeared in one MLB game this year. He had Tommy John surgery in March 2022 and then needed another elbow surgery in July 2023. Another closer moves: Padres get Miller from Athletics If the Tigers are learning one thing from this trade deadline, it's that the price for an elite closer is sky high. The Athletics just dealt their All-Star closer Mason Miller to the Padres for four of San Diego's top-20 prospects. And the Padres already have a closer. Tigers trade for closer Kyle Finnegan from the St. Louis Cardinals The Detroit Tigers have added another reliever. The Free Press has confirmed after a report from The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal that the Tigers have agreed to a deal to acquire closer Kyle Finnegan from the Washington Nationals. Finnegan has spent all six years of his MLB career with the Nationals. He has a 4.38 ERA this season along with 32 strikeouts in 40 games and 20 saves. Tigers acquire injured reliever from Cleveland Guardians Paul Sewald is injured. But the Detroit Tigers traded for him anyway. The Tigers acquired Sewald, a right-handed reliever, from the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, July 31, in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The 35-year-old has been on the injured list since mid-July with a right shoulder strain, but the Tigers expect him to be healthy by early September. Eugenio Suárez traded to Seattle Mariners The Tigers' hopes of bringing Eugenio Suárez back into the organization appear dead, as ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the Seattle Mariners have traded for the Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman. Tigers add reliever Rafael Montero from Atlanta Braves The Tigers have added a reliever in 34-year-old Rafael Montero. The right-hander comes from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Double-A infielder Jim Jarvis, who had a .652 OPS in 77 games with Erie. Montero has a 5.40 ERA with 39 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings with the Braves and Houston Astros this season. He hasn't been particularly effective since his 2022 season with the Astros. That year, he posted a 2.37 ERA in nearly 70 innings during the regular season, then had 10 strikeouts in 9 1/3 postseason innings. Montero's chase rate of 32.2% ranks in the 89th percentile among relievers this season, while his whiff rate (28.9%) ranks in the 76th percentile. When is the MLB trade deadline? The deadline expired Thursday, July 31, at 6 p.m. Matthew Auchincloss and Evan Petzold contributed to this reporting.
