Overview
- Sportsnet’s David Singh predicts Atlanta will trade for Skubal in July if Detroit is priced out, noting the Scott Boras–represented lefty is forecast for a record pitcher contract.
- Dodgers insiders say Los Angeles has discussed pursuing Skubal, with one report describing Detroit’s asking price as comparable to the Juan Soto trade haul for a one-year rental.
- Analysts label the Mets a strong fit given their prospect depth, and a New York report suggests a significant offer may have been floated, though no terms are confirmed and the Tigers have not named a price.
- Tigers general manager Jeff Greenberg declined to discuss trades or extensions, reiterating only that “Tarik is a Detroit Tiger,” as outside reporting points to a decision point by the 2026 trade deadline.
- Skubal’s back-to-back AL Cy Young awards and 2025 line—2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts and a 0.891 WHIP—underscore expectations he could seek $300 million or more on his next deal.
