2026 Trade Deadline

Because of course the Dodgers did. According to Fangraphs they gave up 2 top 5 prospects, MLB.com has them both in the top 7. The rich continue to get richer...

I'm not surprised that the Dodgers got Skubal, but I am a bit surprised that the Tigers didn't wait until the deadline to deal him, and see if they could drive up the price a bit. I am sure they are thrilled with the package they got for Skubal though. I predict Ryan and Hope will be problematic for the Twins in the future. This is likely the start of a Tiger sell-off. Maybe we can get Casey Mize.

Luis Castillo was traded to the White Sox earlier today for Seranthony Dominguez, Nolan Jones, and Boston Smith. This seems like a great move for the White Sox. Castillo will be a good veteran presence on a young team, and he was in the postseason last year with Seattle so he has playoff experience which a lot of that young White Sox team lacks. I hate to say it, but I really like the trade for Chicago.

Return for the Tigers in the Skubal trade is River Ryan (MLB #68 prospect, Dodgers #7), Zyhir Hope (MLB #22 Prospect, Dodgers #5) and Brady Smith (Dodgers #17 Prospect)

This isn't your father's Luis Castillo the ChiSox are getting.  This guy is a shell of his former self.  I dont see this move doing anything positive for the ChiSox so I approve the move.

MLB so badly has to fix their systems.

Agreed

I would take Castillo over Kremer if you're just going by their 2026 play... but yeah, I wouldn't love trading a prospect for cooked Castillo.
