Heyman would go as far as to say that the ball club is a \u201cnumber one team\u201d to trade for Skubal, especially since they have been \u201cfloated around\u201d as being a franchise to land the star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my number one team to trade for Skubal is the Cubs,\u201d Heyman said, via Bleacher Report Walk-Off. \u201cThey&#8217;ve lost 10 in a row. We can get to all the Cubs&#8217; issues in a little while, but certainly, the hitting is their number one issue. But they lost Cade Horton, obviously a number one pitcher, their number one pitcher, and there, that makes the most sense for a trade with Skubal. I&#8217;ve heard that they are team floated around a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>There is a connection between the Cubs and the Tigers <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no denying that the Cubs&#8217; landing Skubal would bring a major jolt to the team, especially after the injuries to the pitching staff like Matthew Boyd and Horton, as Heyman mentioned. Heyman also mentions the connection that Detroit&#8217;s Scott Harris has with Jed Hoyer in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_5403,h_3039\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/9\/01ks9ej7pqq5874xb7q9.jpg\" alt=\"Tigers' spiral creates Tarik Skubal trade speculation that's still too rich  for the Cubs\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot going to say how much they&#8217;ve talked to the Tigers, but we do know that the GM of the Tigers, or baseball president of the Tigers, Scott Harris, used to be with the Cubs, so he certainly knows Jed Hoyer well, knows their system probably better than most, and their system is pretty good. So, the Cubs are my number one fit,\u201d Heyman said.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen where Skubal ends up and if the Cubs will pursue the pitcher.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>With the Chicago Cubs on a 10-game losing streak, the baseball world could be thinking that the team could make a big move at the trade deadline to turn around the season.
