Oddly, all is quiet on baseball’s trade deadline front. Yet, that can change in an instant. If history repeats itself, there will likely be major ramifications to key starting pitcher rankings moving forward. Take Tarik Skubal, for instance, who is rumored to be on the trade block. Should he be dealt to a team in an unfavorable pitching park we could see a step back in his performance level down the stretch as he adjusts. This could turn a fantasy baseball league strong contender, with Skubal as their ace, into a weak one.
