Los Angeles Dodgers fans are still buzzing about their team landing superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal in a trade with the Detroit Tigers.
The Dodgers were already heavy World Series favorites before executing this trade for one of baseball’s best pitchers. Now, their odds are officially at +145 on FanDuel Sportsbook, with every other team in the league far behind them.
It has been reported that Skubal will make his Dodgers debut on August 4, when Los Angeles takes on the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. But fans don’t need to wait that long to see Skubal’s new threads, as the Dodgers posted a photo of Skubal’s jersey and his locker to their social media accounts on Sunday afternoon.
The post was captioned, “No. 29 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tarik Skubal.”
As if Dodgers fans needed any reason to get even more excited about this trade, seeing Skubal’s locker and jersey has amplified this excitement, which is shown by many similar responses to this post.
“IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A FAN OF THEE LOS ANGELES DODGERS,” wrote @DodgerBluess.
“Skubal in Dodger blue is going to be a problem,” added @JackHayHomes, along with an edited photo of Skubal pitching while wearing the white Dodgers jersey.
“I’m crying I can’t believe this isn’t AI 🥹,” said @BoltUpDerwin.
Since his first Dodgers game will be on the road, Skubal will be seen wearing the Dodgers’ gray jerseys before donning the whites. But Los Angeles has a seven-game home-stand that starts on August 10, which means Skubal won’t have to wait long before pitching in front of his new home crowd at Dodger Stadium.
