Ten years after eating cake to fuel the Cubs’ offense, Scott Harris—now Detroit Tigers president—is poised to be the architect of a blockbuster trade: pitching ace Tarik Skubal. With Jed Hoyer, Harris’s former boss, leading the Cubs’ pursuit, the deal hinges on whether Harris will accept a steep price tag, especially with Skubal’s agent Scott Boras and the Dodgers lurking. The Cubs, already a wild-card contender, could use Skubal to reignite playoff magic like in 2016. Harris holds the ultimate power—will he deliver the ace to Chicago, or send him elsewhere? Cubs fans are hoping Hoyer’s bold move might even include a ceremonial cake.
