In the middle of Skubal's latest masterclass, ESPN's Buster Olney decided to look ahead to next offseason when the southpaw is set to hit free agency. He made it clear that Skubal will sign a deal worth at least $400 million with one of the sport's three biggest market teams: the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, or New York Mets.

Tarik Skubal delivered a passionate message following a solid performance on the mound in the Tigers' 2-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Cameron Maybin’s prediction of Tarik Skubal signing with the New York Yankeesunderstandably ruffled some feathers among Detroit Tigers fans. Tigers fansresponded to Maybin’s post on X (formerly Twitter) with their anger andfrustration about the former Tigers outfielder’s prediction that Skubal wouldsign with the Yankees if the Tigers “screw this up.

Cameron Maybin knows Detroit fans are protective of Tarik Skubal, and he stirred the pot anyway. The former Tigers and Yankees outfielder warned the Tigers that if they don’t lock up the reigning Cy Young Award winner now, he would certainly look perfect in Yankee Stadium wearing pinstripes.

Tarik Skubal is just about as consistent as they come. The Detroit Tigers' left-handed pitching superstar, and the reigning Cy Young Award winner in the American League, does something almost every time he takes the mound. Skubal did it again on Sunday Night Baseball against the Rangers, too.

Skubal showed why he’s the favorite to win the Cy Young for a second straight year, striking out 11 with no walks Sunday night in Detroit’s 2-1 victory over Texas. If the Cy Young indeed goes to him, he’ll be the first AL pitcher to earn it in back-to-back seasons since Pedro Martinez’s remarkable stretch with the Red Sox in 1999 and 2000.

Left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal is in his fifth year with the Detroit Tigers, having made his MLB debut during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The 28-year-old emerged as Detroit’s ace late in 2023 after returning from flexor tendon surgery.

And one bold suggestion comes from former center fielder Cameron Maybin, who thinks Tigers starter Tarik Skubal could end up the Bronx. Maybin made the argument in a series of posts on his X account.
