The two-time reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired Tarik Skubal, the top player on the trade market in a blockbuster trade ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, according to national reports.

Skubal, the reigning two-time American Cy Young Award winner, adds to an already stacked roster and rotation filled with future Hall of Famers as the Dodgers go for a three-peat this fall.

The Milwaukee Brewers, who were swept by the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series last year, appeared to have the prospects to be in the conversation for a player like Skubal even if he only ended up being a rental.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers shipped out their No. 5, No. 7 and No. 17 prospects in exchange for Skubal.

Milwaukee, who has five of the top 100 prospects in baseball, will likely still make another move before the deadline but whatever players they acquire next won't match what could have been with Skubal.

Here's how Brewers fans and other baseball fans across social media reacted to the trade on Aug. 1 as many feel there's little hope for most to compete with the big-money teams like the Dodgers:
