Brewers Open to Eating Skubal's Salary in Bold Rotation Upgrade
Amid ongoing trade chatter, Milwaukee is reportedly willing to absorb the rest of Tarik Skubal’s $32 million contract (about $9.8 million now, ~$9.4 million by the deadline) to land Detroit’s ace; the move would push the Brewers’ payroll toward a franchise-high while potentially giving them a formidable Misiorowski–Skubal top of the rotation, but Detroit’s asking price would be steep, likely including premium prospects such as top prospect Jesus Made, with other suitors like the Dodgers and Cubs in pursuit.
