The Golden State Warriorsmissed out on LeBron James and immediately pivoted to filling their roster with familiar names in an attempt to run it back but they hope they stay healthy this time.The first order of business was bringing back the heart and soul of their team, four-time All-Star Draymond Green, for his 15th NBA season. Green inked a one-year, $27.7 million contract, a person with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.He averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 27.5 minutes over 68 games during the 2025-26 season. One of his most valuable assets is his level of commitment on the defensive end, where he's compiled nine all-defensive selections and the 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year award.After finalizing Green's contract, the Warriors continued to focus on rounding out the roster with guys who know exactly what to bring to the table. Golden State remains committed to continuity. The Warriors brought back veteran center Al Horford, who turned 40 in June, on a multi-year contract. The team announced Saturday, Aug. 1, it had signed both De'Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II, bringing both back for the 2026-27 season.Melton averaged a career-high 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 23 minutes after missing the first 22 games recovering from a torn left ACL. Melton is going into his eighth NBA season.Payton played a career-high 73 games last season with the Warriors, where he averaged 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 15.6 minutes per game. He also led the team with 58.3% field goal shooting.What's next for Warriors after missing out on LeBron?It's back to business as usual. The Warriors were reportedly never sold on James truly considering the Bay Area as a home for his 24th season. They hoped James would pick them, but did not lean on that possibility.So naturally, they move on. For the Warriors that means looking internally. There's feeling around the Warriors organization that the team could have been in legitimate postseason contention if it had not faced as many untimely injuries. Key players, such as Stephen Curry (jumper's knee), Jimmy Butler (torn ACL) and Moses Moody (torn patellar tendon), missed considerable time. The Warriors acquired Kristaps Porzingis at the trade deadline, but with injury-riddled lineups, they never got to see the full potential of their addition.The hope is that they come back healthy for the 2026-27 season and get a true look at what the team could be through the course of the season.Anticipate moves during summer 2027As players heal and gear up for the 2026-27 season, it should be noted that many of the Warriors' top contracts expire next summer. That includes those of veterans Curry, Green and Butler.Melton, Payton and Brandin Podziemski are also in need of new deals. Porzingis has a player option to return in 2027-28 or he could become a free agent.There is plenty of superstar talent that will potentially be unrestricted free agents next July. That list includes Curry, Michael Porter Jr. and Tyler Herro.An even bigger list is the number of stars with player options who could become free agents in 2027, which includes superstars like Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, to name a few.Don't expect all those names to become available some will opt in while others will opt out but are committed to their teams while seeking a bigger payday.

Tigers haul for Tarik Skubal in reported trade with Dodgers revealed originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Detroit Tigers and their heavily rumored trade with Tarik Skubal seems to have come to fruition late on Saturday night, before the Monday trade deadline.According to multiple reports, the Tigers are in agreement on a trade that will send Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the favorites to land the Cy Young ace all along.But what did the Tigers get in return for their beloved franchise ace? According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Tigers are receiving three prospects, and no Major Leaguers, in exchange for Skubal ahead of the MLB trade deadline.What did Tigers get in return for Tarik Skubal?"The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith, sources tell ESPN," Passan reports.This three-player prospect package is an interesting combination of players the Tigers are getting in return for Skubal. According to MLB Pipeline, these are the Dodgers' No. 5, No. 7, and No. 17-ranked prospects in the farm system.Zyhir Hope is a 21-year-old left-handed hitting outfield prospect who has an .899 OPS in 94 games at Double-A this season with 23 home runs, 87 RBIs, and a .293 batting average.River Ryan has already made his MLB debut, going 20.1 innings across four starts in 2024, posting a 1.33 ERA with nine walks and 18 strikeouts.But what makes Ryan such an interesting prospect is that he's 27 years old. A much older prospect than most, he's only two years younger than Skubal. But he has significantly more club control and is a whole lot cheaper as well.MORE:Red Sox predicted to trade for Tigers Gleyber Torres at deadlineLastly, Brady Smith is a 21-year-old right-handed pitching prospect who has a 4.38 ERA in 21 starts this season at Single-A and High-A this season. He has a 7.71 ERA in 9.1 innings at High-A, but a 3.88 ERA in Single-A this year.He's a bit further away from the big leagues than Hope and especially Ryan, but the 21-year-old has some upside that the Tigers are now trying to bank on.Skubal, the beloved franchise ace who won two Cy Youngs with Detroit, two ERA titles, and was a two-time all-Star and Triple Crown winner, is now slated to head to the Dodgers in exchange for Ryan, Hope, and Smith ahead of the deadline.While the Tigers didn't land any of the Dodgers' top-four ranked prospects by MLB Pipeline, this three-player package isn't all that bad. Emmet Sheehan was rumored to be in the trade as well, but the MLB-ready pitcher was instead Ryan, who has more control.More MLB news:Mets have no plan to offer contract extension to Freddy Peralta amid trade rumorsPhillies intrigued by Blue Jays trade idea for Jeff Hoffman and Daulton VarshoAstros among teams calling Giants about Logan Webbs trade availabilityYankees linked to Padres for potential rotation for bullpen swapDiamondbacks linked to Nationals Luis Garcia Jr. as perfect trade fit

Tarik Skubal trade details: Dodgers acquire Tigers ace in pre-deadline blockbuster deal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Tigers entered July clinging to hope that they would be able to keep ace Tarik Skubal through the end of the season, but they couldn't overcome the hole they dug themselves when they started 22-38.Facing the reality of losing Skubal for nothing in free agency, the Tigers made the inevitable official ahead of the trade deadline, dealing the two-time Cy Young Award winner to the Dodgersin a blockbuster deal.Before he hits free agency this winter, Skubal will hope to impact the chase for a championship as a frontline starter.Here are the full details of the Dodgers' trade for Skubal.SN's MLB HQ:Live MLB scores|Updated MLB standings|Full MLB scheduleTarik Skubal trade detailsDodgers receive:SP Tarik SkubalTigers receive:OF Zyhir HopeP River RyanP Brady SmithThe Dodgers are sending three prospects to the Tigers in the deal, headlined by outfielder Zyhir Hope. Hope is MLB Pipeline's No. 25 prospect, though he's only ranked as the Dodgers' No. 5 prospect in a loaded system. Ryan is the Dodgers' No. 7 prospect, but he turns 28 later this month.Skubal is arriving in Los Angeles as a rental, at least for now. Not only did contract talks between Skubal and the Tigers go nowhere, but the two sides filed for salaries $13 million apart during the arbitration process, which made a split inevitable in some eyes.With that being said, the Dodgers certainly have the resources to make a play to keep him.After pitching in the postseason in each of the last two years, Skubal will again have the chance to pursue a championship before cashing in on the open market.MORE:How bizarre scooter accident ended Harrison Bader's seasonTarik Skubal contractSkubal is set to be a free agent after this season. The Tigers ace is making $32 million after the salary arbitration process ruled in his favor over Detroit's significantly lower $19 million offer.That gap convinced most fans that Skubal was headed elsewhere in free agency in the winter and left the Tigers with a decision make if they weren't going to significantly increase their offer: hold onto Skubal and attempt to make a postseason run before losing him in the winter, or trade him and stock up on assets.After a dismal start to the season, the Tigers had little choice but to do the latter.Tarik Skubal statsSeasonStartsIPW-LERAWHIPK2020732.01-45.631.2237202129149.18-124.341.26164202221117.27-83.521.1611720231580.17-32.800.90102202231192.018-42.390.92228202531195.113-62.210.8924120261696.27-52.790.91116Career150863.161-423.041.011,005It took some time for Skubal to put it all together, but he turned a promising 2023 into pure dominance in 2024 and 2025. Skubal stayed completely healthy in his two Cy Young seasons, posting 18 wins and a 2.39 ERA in 2022 before improving across the board in 2025 with a lower ERA, lower WHIP and more strikeouts.Tarik Skubal career timeline2020-26: Detroit Tigers2026: Los Angeles DodgersSkubal had spent his entire career with the Tigers to this point, even dating back to when he was drafted.The Diamondbacks originally drafted Skubal in 2017, but he opted to return for his senior season at Seattle University, where he elevated his stock from the 29th round to the ninth round and was selected by the Tigers.It took only two years for Skubal to reach the major leagues, though he struggled in the shortened 2020 season and battled injuries in 2022 and 2023. After showing flashes of dominance once he got back on the mound in 2023, Skubal put it all together in 2024 and 2025 with brilliant Cy Young-winning seasons.

Hinch #14 after being pulled from the game against the Baltimore Orioles during the seventh inning at Comerica Park on July 29, 2026 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesJeff Passan of ESPN announced at 11:31 p.m. ET that the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers were finalizing a trade for two-time AL Cy Young award winner, Tarik Skubal. The Tigers ace is bound for free agency at seasons end, and with the Tigers still a few games and numerous teams away from a playoff spot, Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg decided it was time to cash in their ace for prospects. The deal has not been confirmed by either team as of this writing. In return the Tigers will receive a very good outfield prospect in 21-year-old left-handed hitter Zyhir Hope, triple digit right-handed pitcher River Ryan, and a fairly good right-handed pitching prospect in 21-year-old Brady Smith. Hope is a top 100 prospect who generally draws 55 FV grades, while Ryan was once a top shelf starting pitching prospect with great stuff, but had Tommy John surgery in August 2024, and while his stuff appears fully intact, and it is excellent power stuff, hes dealt with some minor injuries this season.The Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal from the Tigers in exchange for OF Zyhir Hope (LAD No. 6), RHP River Ryan (LAD No. 9) and RHP Brady Smith (LAD No. 27), per @JeffPassan.Hope ranks No. 55 in our Top 100.Dodgers Top 30: https://t.co/JdyoYPsd9Ypic.twitter.com/rgqO2CHl1O Baseball America (@BaseballAmerica) August 2, 2026The Tigers dont really seem interested in pulling the plug on the 2026 season, and were expected to get a major league ready starter as part of the return for Skubal. That didnt happen exactly, but on June 28, Ryan suffered his second hamstring injury of the season. Hes expected to return sometime in August or early September, but those injuries are often tricky, so well see. Well also have to see if the Tigers have more deals in mind or not. Either way, this is a good return for Tarik Skubal. Hope and Ryan are both very talented, and Smiths stock has been rising rapidly this season. The Tigers farm system gets a pretty major upgrade here after graduating Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark this season.The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith, sources tell ESPN.
