However, the Tampa Bay Rays are a fascinating team to enter the sweepstakes.New York Post reporter Jon Heyman lists the Rays (along with the Cubs, Braves) as a top suitor for the dominant southpaw, and USA Today’s Nightengale reports the Rays are pursuing Skubal, as well.Interest is one thing, but do the Rays have the capital to pull a deal off? Remember, if Skubal is actually made available, there will be several teams at least asking the cost of the 2X AL Cy Young. There’s also a report that Skubal himself may want to stay in Detroit, but the Tigers’ front office won’t impose any constraints. The next development becomes if the Tigers believe they can make the MLB playoffs. Detroit is just 3.5 games back in a CROWDED AL Wild Card picture.Regardless, the Tarik Skubal trade rumors are the biggest storyline in MLB right now, and all eyes will be on several front offices when the All-Star break concludes and games begin again on Thursday/Friday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore MLB on Heavy: Chicago Cubs Proposed Trade with Red Sox Involves Matt ShawMore MLB on Heavy: 6-Year Atlanta Braves Legend Makes Honest Didier Fuentes StatementOn Monday afternoon, the Bal
