Plane Flies 'Dodgers Ruined Baseball' Banner Over Wrigley Ahead of Tarik Skubal Debut

Summary
A plane towed a "Dodgers Ruined Baseball" sign over Wrigley Field ahead of Tarik Skubal's debut, turning fan frustration with Los Angeles into a public protest.
Skubal's arrival before the trade deadline sharpened anger at a club many rivals already see as stockpiling elite talent beyond the rest of MLB.
That resentment has built around the Dodgers' massive payroll, deferred-contract structure, aggressive free-agent spending and ability to trade from a deep farm system.
The banner underscored a wider tension across baseball: many fans dislike the Dodgers' dominance even as they would welcome the same all-in approach from their own teams.
