Dodgers Skubal trade sparks Skenes Acuna speculation

The Dodgers just pulled off a blockbuster for Tarik Skubal, so honestly, who’s off the table at this point? If the Pirates keep sinking, Paul Skenes feels like the obvious next target, a young ace stuck on a losing team is exactly the kind of move L.A. pounces on. And if the Braves get stingy about a massive extension for Ronald Acuna Jr., don’t be surprised if the Dodgers swoop in and defer another billion to make him theirs. This talent-hoarding is getting wild, and after the Skubal deal, the calls for a hard salary cap in Major League Baseball are only gonna get louder.
