MLB The Show 26 adds 99-rated Tarik Skubal card after Dodgers trade

Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, was traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the MLB trade deadline. MLB The Show 26 released a 99-rated Tarik Skubal Diamond Dynasty card as part of its New Threads Trade Deadline program, dropping around 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, alongside other high-rated cards. The card underscores how Skubal's arrival further strengthens an already top-ranked Dodgers rotation while MLB negotiations over an expiring CBA and a proposed salary cap could affect future rosters and player movement.

• Tarik Skubal was dealt from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline; he is a two-time Cy Young Award winner.
• MLB The Show 26’s New Threads Trade Deadline program released a 99-rated Tarik Skubal Diamond Dynasty card around 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET; Jo Adell also received a 99 rating, Taylor Ward and Arjun Nimmala are 98-rated, and Ryan Zeferjahn, Luke Weaver, Luis Castillo, Liam Hicks, Daulton Varsho and AJ Minter are rated 97.
