Tarik Skubal Eyes World Series Title Amidst Contract Uncertainty

Two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal confirmed the Tigers have made no long-term contract offers, making 2026 potentially his final season in Detroit. Despite a record $32 million arbitration win, Skubal remains focused on winning a World Series. He is currently with Team USA for the World Baseball Classic, where he will make one 55-pitch start against Great Britain before returning to spring training to lead a rotation bolstered by the additions of Framber Valdez and Justin Verlander.
