The Los Angeles Dodgers have predictably been the team most connected to a potential Skubal trade, and as Tigers brass has refused to answer the question of whether or not he's being shopped, rumors have certainly loomed.

The door is officially open for Tarik Skubal’s Detroit exit. Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris did not rule out trading the back-to-back AL Cy Young winner with one year left on his contract and many expecting him to leave this offseason.

The Tigers didn’t add a veteran closer for optics. Jansen’s signing reads like a clear win-now move that strengthens Detroit around Skubal.

The Detroit Tigers entered the offseason with one massive question looming over them, and thus far it's only produced more questions.
