The Detroit Tigers are at a pivotal moment with their ace, Tarik Skubal, who just clinched the AL Cy Young award and is now two years away from free agency. The recent attempt to extend him fell flat, raising some intriguing questions about the future of both Skubal and the Tigers.
What do you think it will take for the Tigers to secure a long-term deal with Skubal? Given that he’s represented by Scott Boras, a notorious advocate for his clients to test free agency, do you believe the Tigers can offer a competitive package that would convince him to stay?
Let’s not forget the historical context here. The Tigers have successfully locked down their stars in the past, like Justin Verlander. But with the market evolving and contracts skyrocketing, can the Tigers afford to make a bold move? Some analysts suggest a deal in the range of $175 million over seven years could be feasible. Do you think that’s a reasonable expectation, or are we looking at a potential bidding war when he hits free agency?
Moreover, how does Skubal’s age and performance stack up against other recent Cy Young winners? With the landscape of pitching contracts changing, could he be in line for a deal that surpasses even the likes of Gerrit Cole or Stephen Strasburg?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What would you do if you were in the Tigers' front office? Would you prioritize locking him down now, or would you let him test the waters and see what the market bears? And for those who have followed Skubal’s journey, how do you feel about his potential trajectory in the league?
