Skubal Weighs Emotional Decision on WBC Future

After a dominant three-inning, five-strikeout performance for Team USA, two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is reconsidering his plan to exit the WBC early. Skubal, who allowed only one leadoff home run on 41 pitches, admitted the experience has been emotionally impactful. He is currently consulting with the Tigers, his agent, and his family to decide if he will remain with the team for the quarterfinals, balancing his patriotism with his commitment to the Tigers' Opening Day rotation.
