Dodgers' Updated Pitching Rotation, Payroll After Tarik Skubal Blockbuster Trade with Tigers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a third straight World Series title.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Saturday night they're acquiring ace Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers for three minor league prospects: pitchers River Ryan and Brady Smith and outfielder Zyhir Hope.

A three-man starting rotation is the norm in the MLB playoffs, but L.A. could plausibly go five- or even six-deep in October. Here's who could be available to manager Dave Roberts if everyone is healthy come postseason time:

Dodgers Starting Rotation

• Tarik Skubal
• Yoshinobu Yamamoto
• Emmet Sheehan
• Justin Wrobleski
• Tyler Glasnow
• Blake Snell
• Roki Sasaki

The Dodgers are on the hook for $9.5 million in terms of Skubal's prorated salary. The overall cost will be much higher with the team soaring past the luxury tax.
