July 16: Dodgers, Orioles both eyeing Skubal blockbuster (report)
Although it remains unclear if the Tigers are open to trading ace pitcher Tarik
Skubal at this year’s Deadline, a pair of World Series contenders are reportedl
y eyeing the left-hander as the answer to their starting pitching woes.
雖然還不清楚老虎有沒有要賣Skubal，不過兩支以世界大賽為目標的球隊都將他當作先發漏
洞的解答。
According to Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci, sources from both the Dodgers a
nd Orioles confirmed that they are interested in putting together significant pr
ospect packages for Skubal.
根據運動畫刊Tom Verducci的報導，來自道奇跟金鶯的內線都證實他們願意為Skubal付出一
大包新秀。
Another source familiar with Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harri
s’ thinking told Verducci that it is doubtful the Tigers will move the 27-year-
old southpaw, because Harris believes a Skubal-led pitching staff is key to the
team’s rebuild. But the source also added, “Everything has a price.”
跟老虎隊總裁Scott Harris熟識的內線則告訴記者他懷疑老虎會交易Skubal，因為Harris認
為Skubal是重建的核心。不過這位消息人士也說每件事都有它的價碼。
The Dodgers and Orioles each have the type of young talent it would take to enti
ce the Tigers in trade talks for Skubal. Coming into 2024, the Orioles' farm sys
tem ranked first, per MLB Pipeline, while the Dodgers' farm system ranked eighth
.
道奇跟金鶯農場都有足夠的年輕天份吸引老虎進行交易（金鶯農場第一，道奇第八）
The two clubs have dealt with a myriad of injuries that have decimated their rot
ations this season. Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw, Walker B
uehler, Emmet Sheehan, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin are all currently on the inj
ured list for the Dodgers. The latter three will miss the rest of 2024. The Orio
les, meanwhile, have lost Kyle Bradish, John Means and Tyler Wells for the year.
兩隊的先發輪值都出現大量的傷兵。
As a result, Los Angeles and Baltimore are expected to be among the most aggress
ive clubs when it comes to pursuing starting pitching prior to the Trade Deadlin
e.
因此他們都被認為會是交易大限以前最積極追求先發投手的球隊。
The American League Cy Young Award frontrunner, Skubal has two years of team con
trol remaining after 2024, the same as White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet, another
top trade candidate to whom the Dodgers and Orioles have been linked.
Skubal是美聯賽揚獎領跑者，跟白襪Garrett Crochet相同在今年球季結束還有兩年的控制
權。
While Skubal missed time due to injury in 2022-23, he comes with less uncertaint
y than Crochet considering he has thrown nearly 500 innings at the MLB level, wi
th a career high of 149 1/3 in 2021. Crochet is in his first season as a starter
and has already thrown 107 1/3 innings after previously topping out at 54 1/3 i
nnings in 2021, the season before he underwent Tommy John surgery. That makes th
e Chicago ace a risky bet for the second half of 2024.
並且Skubal的不確定性較Crochet低。他在大聯盟已經投了將近500局，生涯最高投到149.1
局。而Crochet是今年才轉先發，先前單季最多只投到54.1局但今年已經投了107.1局了，這
會讓他的下半季表現有些風險。
