“Skubie Doo(dger)”

Two-time American League Cy Young Award Winner Tarik Skubal is a Los Angeles Dodger!  In this special “Extra, extra, pod all about it!” episode, Richard delivers everything you need to know about the most important development in the 2026 baseball season so far: the Dodgers acquisition of the most coveted arm in baseball, just before the MLB trade deadline passed on Monday, in exchange for three promising prospects from the Dodgers expansive farm system. Listen today, before Skubal's first start as a Dodger at Wrigley Field, at 5 p.m. Pacific, against the Cubs. The Skubal trade sent ripples throughout the baseball world, and stirred up something of a controversy about the perceived imbalance in MLB during this, the Dodgers era of dominance. But haters are gonna hate, and at the end of the day, if the Dodgers are the contemporary baseball world's super villains, so be it.  Thumbs-up or thumbs-down on the nickname "Skubie Doo(dger)"? It's just a game, folks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
