MLB Trade Deadline 2026: Tarik Skubal to Dodgers, Blockbuster Trades & What’s Next
from SportsWrap with Jason Page · host Jason Page, David Aardsma, Sam Yarnell
The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline has arrived, and SportsWrap breaks down the blockbuster moves that could reshape the race to October. Jason Page is joined by former MLB pitcher David Aardsma to analyze Tarik Skubal heading to the Los Angeles Dodgers, along with Luis Garcia Jr. to the Yankees, Kevin Gausman to the Cubs and José Soriano to the Blue Jays. Which teams won the deadline, who gave up too much, and did the Dodgers just become even more difficult to beat? The conversation also turns to the bigger issue looming over Major League Baseball: a potential 2027 work stoppage. Jason examines baseball's growing payroll disparity, the debate over a salary cap and salary floor, and whether the Dodgers' spending is becoming a flashpoint in the coming battle between MLB owners and players. Later, Sam Yarnell joins SportsWrap to discuss the WNBA, including the latest surrounding Sophie Cunningham and whether there's hypocrisy in her public stance on transgender athletes in women's sports. Plus, Jason hits the latest headlines from around the sports world, including the USMNT, Victor Wembanyama, Chris Bosh, Jadeveon Clowney and the Houston Texans. SportsWrap with Jason Page delivers independent sports conversation, analysis and interviews without the corporate talking points.
