The Skubal-to-Cubs Rumors: Jim Bowden Explains Why It Won't Happen | GM Territory

The MLB Trade Deadline rumor mill is in overdrive, and on today’s episode of GM Territory, we separate fact from fiction.

The Cubs continue to be linked to Tarik Skubal, but former MLB General Manager Jim Bowden explains why Chicago may not be the best fit—and why other contenders simply have stronger prospect packages to offer if the Tigers decide to move their ace. We compare the Cubs’ farm system with other top suitors and discuss what Detroit should be looking for in a blockbuster deal.

We also break down two completed trades:

• Dean Kremer’s move and what it means for his new club.
• Bo Naylor’s trade and how both teams made out in the deal.

If you’re looking for front office insight, trade value analysis, and the latest deadline rumors, this episode has you covered.

💬 Do you think the Cubs have enough to land Tarik Skubal, or is another contender the favorite?
