1/14/25	MLB Network fans vote Tarik Skubal as best pitcher for 2025 season. Reigning American League Cy Young winner and Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal added another honor to his resume on Tuesday when MLB Network fans voted him the best pitcher in baseball headed into the 2025 season. Skubal finished ahead of Pittsburgh Pirates phenom Paul Skenes and National League Cy Young winner Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-mlb-network-f...
1/11/25	Detroit Tigers Star Prospect Ready To Join Tarik Skubal Atop Major League Rotation. The Detroit Tigers have arguably the best starting pitcher in baseball, reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. The wins and strikeouts both led the MLB, as he also led the sport in WAR (6.3). Along with his ERA, Skubal also led the AL in winning percentage (.818), ERA+ (170) and FIP (2.49). The Tigers have the hard part of the pitching equation figured out, as they have a bonafide ace anchoring the rotation. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/detroit-tigers-...
1/09/25	Tigers ace Tarik Skubal gets $10.15 million deal for 2025 after Cy Young campaign. Reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal continues to reap the rewards of his stellar 2024 campaign. The Detroit Tigers and Skubal agreed to a one-year, $10.15 million contract on Thursday, avoiding arbitration. It also sets the stage for another year of arbitration before Skubal becomes a free agent following the 2026 season. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-tarik-skubal-...
1/06/25	Could Detroit Tigers Rising Star Become Dark Horse MVP Candidate This Season?. The Detroit Tigers' run at the end of last year from nearly double digit games out of the playoffs to making the postseason and dispatching the Houston Astros en route to coming within a game of an ALCS appearance was unlikely. In order to have an unlikely run the way the Tigers did, teams need help from some unlikely heroes. While perhaps nobody expected Tarik Skubal to be that good this season, Matt Vierling was an ironman both in the infield and the outfield, and Parker Meadows burst onto the scene with a 2.2 WAR in just 82 games. Kerry Carpenter has had some bad luck with injuries early in his career. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/could-detroit-t...
1/05/25	Struggling Detroit Tigers Pitcher Not Projected to Stay Past This Season. The Detroit Tigers season in 2024 was interesting from a pitching standpoint. Seeing the highest of highs with Tarik Skubal leading the rotation and winning the American League Cy Young in unanimous fashion and bringing the team to the doorstep of the ALCS, the picture behind Skubal was largely not a pretty one. The Tigers made a couple of acquisitions last winter who they hoped would bolster the rotation, and they hit on one of them with Jack Flaherty finding a gear he hadn't had throughout his entire career. Unfortunately for Detroit, they only had Flaherty on a one-year deal and shipped him out of town at the deadline after 18 sensational starts.

1/04/25	Detroit Tigers Slugger Receives Incredibly Bold Prediction for Next Season. The Detroit Tigers are a team on the rise in the American League. There were a lot of players who contributed to the incredible run, highlighted by AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. The talented lefty was a reliable source of production for manager A.J. Hinch all year, as the team was put in a position to win whenever he took the mound. In the lineup, it is another lefty that the Tigers can thank for aiding in the turnaround — star left fielder Riley Greene. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/detroit-tigers-...
12/25/24	Could Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal become first $400 million pitcher in MLB history?. Tarik Skubal is lined up to be the first $400 million pitcher in MLB history as long as everything goes right with health and performance in 2025-26.

12/21/24	Detroit Tigers Outstanding Farm System Earns Top Spot in Latest Rankings. The Detroit Tigers are in as good of a position as many around Major League Baseball moving forward. With a Cy Young starter, young talent, money to eventually spend, and top prospects, the Tigers should find success over much of the next decade. If the ownership doesn't give Tarik Skubal the offer he's looking for when the time comes, the future will look much different. The farm system is just as important as anything else for a team like the Tigers. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/detroit-tigers-...
12/12/24	Reasons Why Detroit Tigers Signing of Pitcher Alex Cobb Is Head-Scratching Decision. Coming into the MLB offseason, there were a few clear areas of need that the Detroit Tigers were going to look to address. Chief among them was experienced depth for their starting pitching staff. Beyond American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal, the team didn't have much to consistently rely on in the second half of 2024. Rookie Keider Montero had some incredible moments, but whenever their ace wasn't on the mound, manager A.J. Hinch went with some “pitching chaos”.

12/10/24	Is Signing Alex Cobb Enough for the Detroit Tigers This Winter?. The Detroit Tigers made the 2024 postseason against all odds. The other, Tarik Skubal, won the American League Cy Young. It was a shallow pitching staff down the stretch and into the postseason, with manager AJ Hinch even calling it "pitching chaos." The Tigers have reached a one-year agreement with veteran Alex Cobb to try and alleviate some of those issues. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/is-signing-alex...
12/09/24	In hunt for No. 1 starter via trade, Red Sox may have to gamble some. There are very few legitimate No. 1 starters in Major League Baseball, and for those few teams fortunate to have one, convincing them to give one up in a trade is an almost impossible task. The Detroit Tigers, for instance, wouldn't be at all interested in dealing Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. Doing so requires teams to put a lot of faith in their scouts and data analysts, who are tasked with predicting which young pitcher might be in position to grow into the role of ace, as Skubal did. “You take that on a case-by-case basis,” said Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.

12/07/24	Tigers ace elected to union leadership spot after Cy Young season. Detroit Tigers ace and 2024 American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is taking on a prominent new role in the MLB players' union. Skubal was selected as a member of the MLBPA's executive subcommittee during the union's annual meetings this week in Arizona. Source: https://www.mlive.com/tigers/2024/12/tigers-ace-el...
12/04/24	Tigers predicted to land Dodgers $15 million two-time All-Star. The Detroit Tigers managed to go on a miraculous run to reach the postseason as the third American League Wild Card team. This offseason, they are in need of some pitching, particularly a top-level arm to go with Tarik Skubal. Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report projected each Major League team's Opening Day rotation for 2025, and Los Angeles Dodgers World Series hero Walker Buehler was in the mix for Detroit.

12/02/24	Could Tigers reunite with promising right-hander after strong October?. The Detroit Tigers went on an unprecedented run in the second half of the 2024 season after selling at the trade deadline. Instead of folding and finishing out of the picture, they surged and captured the third and final American League Wild Card spot. Now, the Tigers will look to sustain their success and have a deeper October run in 2025. Detroit needs a second top starter to go next to Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.

11/25/24	Non-Tendered Outfielder the Perfect Buy-Low Free Agent for Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers are not hiding their intentions this offseason; they are looking to upgrade the roster and are willing to spend to make that happen. The first area of the team people point to in need of an upgrade is the pitching staff, specifically the starting rotation. Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal was incredible in 2024, but the team needs reinforcements behind him. Down the stretch of the season, he and Keider Montero were the only starters A.J. Hinch was using. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/non-tendered-ou...
11/24/24	Cleveland Guardians Rookie Cade Smith Makes History Among Canadian-Born Players. Last week, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers was named the Cy Young winner in the American League. It was the first Cy Young win for Skubal, who beat out Emmanuel Clase (Cleveland Guardians) and Seth Lugo (Kansas City Royals). And though he wasn't named as a finalist, Guardians rookie Cade Smith made some history by even receiving votes for the award. He finished ninth. Per the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame on "X:" Cade Smith became the 9th Canadian to receive Cy Young votes.

11/23/24	Detroit Tigers Named 'Potential Suitor' for Top Power Hitting Free Agent. The Detroit Tigers are ready to spend some money this offseason to build off of the incredible finish they had to the 2024 campaign. After making a historic run to the playoffs, and even defeating the Houston Astros in the Wild Card Round, there is plenty of work to do with the roster. Last season, the Tigers hit 162 home runs; only six teams in the league had fewer. Elite pitching is what carried the team down the stretch, as the staff was anchored by American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal.
