MLB Trade Deadline Preview: Odds for Skubal, Tatis, and More

The trade deadline can change the course of the season overnight, and this year seems to be no exception, with some massive names potentially available. 

Tarik Skubal appears the most likely big name to move, but he won't be the only one. We've got the odds directly below, and have some more in-depth breakdowns of the trade markets for a select few after the list.

With the Tigers struggling and a historic payday coming, the 2-time Cy Young winner looks like a lock to find a new home.

What's the most interesting here is what kind of packages Detroit could get back. From Tampa Bay, for instance, any trade would likely be a rental. It is not at all in the Rays' modus operandi to spend big money, so in all likelihood this would be a rental. For Tigers fans, however, teams that are willing to spend would be more attractive.

The Padres have no trouble trading away big prospects or splashing a ton of money in free agency, so they'd be an interesting landing spot. 

Meanwhile, the Cubs are locked in the NL Central's toughest division race in decades, so they really need a leg up. After missing out on retaining Kyle Tucker last offseason, they have money and assets available to make a big splash.

After a few years in the wilderness, Aroldis Chapman has been able to turn back the clock with the Red Sox since joining the team last season. However, with the disastrous start to Boston's season, the veteran southpaw will be highly sought-after at this year's deadline.

Leading the pack is San Diego. Always an aggressive buyer, this move would bolster a unit that's already dominant, with the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball. Chapman would pair with Mason Miller in the back of the pen, giving them arguably the best late-game 1-2 punch in baseball.

Consistently one of the most underrated starters in the Majors, Joe Ryan might be moving to a bigger market this year. Ever since the Twins' extreme fire sale at last season's deadline, veterans like Ryan and Byron Buxton have been viewed around the league as attractive trade chips.

With Chicago also in the market for Skubal, Joe Ryan would be a great and more cost-effective consolation prize should their pursuit fall short.

The NL East-leading Braves can also look to add Ryan to Chris Sale and Spencer Strider, giving them one of the best top threes of any rotation in baseball.
