Overview
- Multiple reports say Detroit will at least hear proposals for Skubal this offseason, with clarity expected around the GM Meetings from Nov. 10–13.
- The Tigers’ prior extension offer was reported under $100 million over four years, while projections now peg Skubal’s next deal near $400 million.
- The Mets and Yankees are expected to inquire if he is available, though insiders caution the prospect cost for a likely one-year rental could be prohibitive.
- Skubal is represented by Scott Boras, and observers note a post-trade extension would be unlikely, further complicating teams’ willingness to pay a premium.
- Freddy Peralta of the Brewers is being discussed as a more attainable trade alternative for clubs that balk at the price for Skubal.
