Why Tigers are pitching Tarik Skubal today despite incessant trade rumors originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here .

Tarik Skubal is the back-to-back Cy Young winner in the American League. He's on an expiring contract. And if he gets moved by the August 3 trade deadline, it'll be the biggest move of the summer.

Even with that in mind, Skubal is getting the ball.
