After the 2026 season, Detroit reportedly offered Tarik Skubal a four-year, $75 million extension; Boras claims an eight-year deal would have been more appealing, contradicting Scott Harris’s account that only a single extension was ever offered. With Skubal now a Dodger, Detroit shifts to a high-upside rotation (Melton, Valdez, Jobe, River Ryan) and a deep prospect pool as it looks to a brighter 2027.
With the MLB trade deadline approaching, the Detroit Tigers are reportedly weighing a Tarik Skubal trade, per ESPN's Jeff Passan, as they seek a big return for the two-time AL Cy Young winner. Rival executives say Detroit is shopping Skubal and may have to settle for a package that doesn’t fully reflect his value, signaling a potential sell-off rather than a deadline-day blockbuster if the right offer isn’t found. The decision could reshape Detroit’s path this season and spark interest from teams hoping to add a top pitcher for a World Series push.
