MLB rumors: Tarik Skubal market crystallizes; why Padres would consider Mason Miller trade; a CJ Abrams catch

The trade deadline is now less than a week away for Major League Baseball, as it is set for 6 p.m. ET on Monday, Aug. 3. A good number of teams are still in limbo, though, sitting within striking distance of a wild-card spot while also not really having the look of a strong contender. Something to watch in the coming days is the Tigers . They've lost three straight and sit four back of the last spot in the American League with four teams to jump over. If they end up as sellers, that means Tarik Skubal hits the market.
