Tarik Skubal trade talks have been running rampant for quite some time, especially with how poorly the Detroit Tigers have been playing.

For the Milwaukee Brewers, they somehow find themselves in the mix for the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner.

Skubal, 29, would be a rental for Milwaukee and isn't a player the team would sign to a long-term contract. The interest is obviously there, but the money certainly isn't.

Milwaukee has some of the best prospects in all of baseball, but is it really worth committing to a few months of Skubal in hopes of winning the World Series this year?

Winning the World Series means everything, but this team still feels like it's nowhere where it needs to be offensively, so losing talented prospect bats simply isn't worth it.

Wednesday night was not the first time the Brewers were nearly on the wrong end of a no-hitter. Thankfully, Brice Turang, the best second baseman in baseball, was able to get a single in the seventh that nearly sparked a late rally.

Milwaukee certainly had its chances, but a pair of pinch-hits didn't go their way in the eighth and the team fell short even after Christian Yelich doubled in the ninth. 

So the question is, is Skubal really worth it? Milwaukee, down 1-0 last night, had Yelich on third with only one out. Even with their best hitters at the plate, neither Brice Turang nor William Contreras could drive Yelich in to tie the game, or potentially hit a homer to win it.

This team has a surplus of top prospects, but time and time again the Brewers lose their best players to the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets. Not only would they be trading away these prospects to the Tigers, but they know there's not a chance Skubal sticks around after the 2026 season, no matter how it ends.

All offseason long, Brewers fans were begging for a guy like Eugenio Suarez to come to Milwaukee. That didn't happen, and it's not like the Brewers made any massive moves that greatly improved their offense.

Bringing in Daniel Vogelbach as a hitting coach is one thing, but that wasn't the make-or-break move they needed to become legitimate World Series Contenders. Even with Skubal, they simply aren't there until this offense is able to find some more consistency.
