Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow expressed his enthusiasm to pitch with AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal when asked about trade rumors surrounding the Dodgers this offseason.
Skubal has been heavily linked with the Dodgers throughout the offseason, and is a likely trade candidate as he has just one season remaining with the Tigers and doesn’t appear close to reaching an agreement for an extension with the team.
Glasnow’s name has come up in trade rumors as well, but spoke about his excitement to play with the All-Star after the front office told him he wasn’t part of any trade talks.

“I obviously have seen the Skubal stuff, and I think that seems to be relatively real,” Glasnow said. “I’ve also seen some rumors where I would get traded for him, so it’s like, I don’t know what to believe.
“I talked to Andrew and our front office and they were like, ‘No, you’re not going anywhere.’ They told me I’m not going to get traded, and I trust them. So that’s obviously a nice feeling. I think it would be sick if we went out and got him. He’s probably one of the most unbelievable pitchers i’ve ever seen.
“…Just to pitch along with him in the rotation would be a dream, so I hope we get that done.”
Skubal has been one of the best — if not the best — pitchers in MLB over the past two seasons, winning the AL Cy Young award two seasons in a row. He had a 2.21 ERA in 2025, leading the American League, and struck out 241 batters through 195.1 innings pitched.
Glasnow logged a solid 2025 season too, as he posted a 3.19 ERA for the Dodgers in 2025 through 18 starts.
If the Dodgers can bring Skubal in without letting go of Glasnow, they would easily, inarguably have the best starting rotation in MLB. They’ll hope they can get the left-hander in before the end of the offseason, as they’re pursuing a three-peat in the 2026 season.
