The Los Angeles Dodgers’ acquisition of two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is at the center of The Athletic’s latest weekly sports trivia quiz.

The Dodgers, described in the quiz introduction as two-time defending World Series champions, made the headline move at the trade deadline. The deal adds another elite arm to a club that already combines enormous financial resources with one of baseball’s strongest farm systems.

The move also revives the broader debate over competitive balance. Los Angeles’ ability to keep adding star talent has frustrated fans of rival teams, while Dodgers supporters may view the trade as necessary after needing seven games to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays in last year’s World Series.

More than baseball

The quiz spans a wide range of sports stories. Its baseball topics include Skubal’s strong but ultimately losing Dodgers debut and a trade in which the Boston Red Sox acquired an All-Star from a division rival.

Football subjects include CBS Sports’ search for a replacement after Tony Romo was placed on leave, the Detroit Lions’ signing of free-agent linebacker DeAndre Hopkins’ move into college coaching while maintaining that he has not retired. The roundup also features an active NBA star nearing a deal for a documentary about his career.

Elsewhere, the quiz asks readers to revisit the college football preseason coaches poll, FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s reversal on a controversial proposal, Formula 1’s potential youngest champion and a former NHL player’s transition to the silver screen.

Readers are also invited to take on The Athletic’s daily Connections: Sports Edition alongside the weekly quiz.
