The Houston Astros could be the next home of the Detroit Tigers' AL Cy Young favorite before the trade deadline.
The Astros would send over outfielder Jacob Melton, shortstop Brice Matthews, right-handed pitcher Jose Fleury and outfielder Colin Barber.
There's not much to say about Skubal outside of the fact he's one of the best pitchers in baseball right now. He's sporting a sub-3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with double digit strikeouts per nine for a second straight season.If the Tigers do not plan on paying the southpaw when they lose control after the 2026 season, it would make sense to trade him now for a large haul of prospects. This is the type of package that could make them at least think about moving their ace.
Matthews was the Astros' first round selection last year and has torn the minor leagues up at the plate this season with a slash line of .333/.444/.559, six home runs and 16 stolen bases. He's another guy that flashes both power and speed. His last college year was a 20-20 season with an OPS of 1.204.Fleury is the No. 8 overall prospect in Houston's pipeline, and second-highest ranked pitcher in their farm.
