That’s always been on the table for me. I have to think he’ll win his arb case if he doesn’t settle. That’s 32 million more for payroll.Originally Posted by RedTeamGo!
That said, I’m not a fair of Tigers rotation aside from Skubal and Valdez. They really should keep both if serious about competing.
Former Ciincinnati Reds outfielder Jacob Hurtubise signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.

Normally I would say yes. The 2027 strike makes me think they’re gonna take a run at a pennant and let Skubal walk.
That’s what I would hope for as a Detroit fan anyway. Servo could give that perspective.

Andujar to the Pads for $4M
Great. Hell bat 280 and have a 350 OBP out of nowhere.

The shift to shorter-term deals with a high AAV is interesting.
I kinda like it.
I guess we can stop discussing Andujar.
Once Reds signed Suarez that wasn’t happening.

I would think so.
This would not surprise me one bit. The ol' "Devil's Magic" has left the Cardinals and headed to the Brew Crew as of late.
Regarding Skubal, I read that his Arb hearing was yesterday and will be announced sometime today.
This one ought to be interesting.

Tigers majorly lowballed their number. I bet he could have got 35 up against their 19.

The crazy thing about Skubal is the Tommy John seemingly turned him into a superhero. Look at all his numbers and velo before and after it’s crazy.
After 2 near 200 IP seasons in a row I have him flagged as a major injury risk however. His velo has soared up each year. He sat 94 on his fastball pre surgery for years. Now he’s 97.6.
