"Tarik Skubal, Los Angeles Dodger" is happening, and the implications for baseball's present and future are massive. As ESPN's Jeff Passan was first to report, the Dodgers acquired the two-time Cy Young Award winner from the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. The Tigers are getting three players in return, including outfield prospect Zyhir Hope. This deal has plenty of both, so let's break them down. According to FanGraphs, the Dodgers had a 25.7 percent chance of winning the World Series on Thursday. It's now a 30.5 percent chance.

That is both utterly ridiculous and just really, really hard to argue with. This is a team that is top-five in the league in runs scored, and now they can look forward to October with the following playoff rotation in mind: Game 3: Either Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow or Shohei Ohtani That's just obscene, and that much more so knowing that there might not be any room for Justin Wrobleski. You know, the guy who just pulled a Pedro Martínez by punching out five batters in the All-Star Game. Though the Dodgers feel inevitable right now, the thing to remember is that nothing is inevitable in baseball. If Miguel Rojas doesn't hit one of the most unlikely home runs in MLB history last October, we're not even talking about a three-peat right now. Still, the Dodgers really do feel inevitable, don't they?
