Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, is seeking a deal that the franchise appears unwilling to meet. In fact, there is a significant gap between what he is asking for and what the team is willing to offer. “The Tigers and superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal have a lot of work to do if they’re going to bridge quite possibly the biggest gap in MLB negotiating history: an estimated quarter of a billion dollars.
Yep, that’s not a misprint. It’s close to $250 million,” New York Post’s Jon Heyman wrote. During the offseason, it appeared Detroit was preparing for the possibility of Skubal’s departure by signing left-hander Framber Valdez.
“The Tigers on Tuesday announced that they have signed left-hander Framber Valdez to a three-year deal worth $115 million,” MLB. com’s Tim Stebbins wrote. Now, with the Tigers off to a slow start, FanSided’s Christopher Kline believes Detroit should consider trading Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers .
