This Week in Sports Trivia: August 6, 2026

The two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers acquired two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline.

This is what the Dodgers do. They’re the biggest bully on the block, but also the smartest. They have all the money, but also one of the best farm systems, with the resources to make deals like this happen whenever they feel like it. Fans of other teams wonder how they keep doing this, while Dodger fans probably wonder, “How come we didn’t get more? After all, we needed seven games to beat the Toronto Blue Jays last year!”

While you debate whether the monsters of Chavez Ravine are good or bad for the sport, we invite you to try this week’s quiz, which hits on the trade deadline and more. And please take a run at our daily Connections: Sports Edition, too!
