Nobody really talks about what the Los Angeles Dodgers do in the regular season, and it's gotten to a point where I certainly understand it.

As the Dodgers have proven over the past two seasons, they're obviously the best team in baseball, and until somebody beats them when it matters in October, there really isn't much more to talk about.

They currently have a plus-63 run differential, which ranks them third in all of baseball, the best record in the National League West, and they aren't even fully healthy yet.

The scary part for the Dodgers is that we know Andrew Friedman is only going to try to get this team better at the trade deadline, and if there's one guy who becomes available, many are starting to think it becomes all but certain they land him.

That player is Tarik Skubal, the best starter in Major League Baseball.

“The Los Angeles Dodgers are the clear top landing spot for Skubal. They have the money to re-sign him in free agency after the year, either way. They're a contender and have shown the aggression to go after blockbuster moves in the past. The Dodgers also have one of the best farm systems in the league to trade from. They could package Tyler Glasnow, , and prospects to send to the Tigers to lure Skubal out of ,” Zach Pressnell of SI .
