Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers are likely heading to an arbitration hearing, according to multiple reports. The two sides are a whopping $13 million apart. (Mark Feinsand on X)
Fantasy Impact:
The back-to-back Cy Young Award winner has put his arbitration number at $32 million, while the Tigers put their figure in at $19 million. If Skubal goes to a hearing and wins, it would be the largest salary for an arbitration-eligible player. Juan Soto currently holds the record at $31 million. It would also be the largest figure ever granted to a pitcher in arbitration as David Price's $19.75 million in 2015 is the current mark. If it goes to a hearing, the arbitrator can only select Skubal's figure or the Tigers' figure. It could be an interesting February for the two sides if they don't reach an agreement before then.
