Well now, if you’re wonderin’ ’bout Tarik Skubal’s contract, lemme tell ya what I know. Tarik, that young fella, he signed him a big ol’ one-year contract with them Detroit Tigers. Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s just any old contract, no sir! It’s worth a whoopin’ $11,200,000. Yup, all guaranteed too. That means the Tigers can’t back out, and Tarik’s gonna get all that money, no matter what happens on the field. And this is for the 2025 season, mind you, so not this year but the one after.
Now, I heard it from some folks over at the Detroit Free Press, that there’s more goin’ on here than just that one-year deal. Them Tigers folks, they’re in talks with Tarik’s agent, a fella named Scott Boras. They been talkin’ ‘bout possibly extendin’ Tarik’s contract even further, like for a few more years. But you gotta know, baseball ain’t like regular workin’ folks, it don’t happen overnight, and everything’s still up in the air for now. I reckon they just waitin’ for the right time to pull the trigger on that.
That ol’ left-handed pitcher, Tarik, he’s somethin’ special. They say he could even be up for the AL Cy Young Award, which is mighty impressive. That means he’s one of the best pitchers out there, you hear? Ain’t no small feat. And if that happens, well, you better believe his value might just go up. He’s still got a couple years left under the Tigers’ control before he can go off and be a free agent in 2026. So the team’s hopin’ to lock him down before that time comes. But it looks like they’ve been tryin’ to extend his contract already, though. I imagine they’d like to keep him around for a good long while.
Let’s talk about the numbers for a bit. This contract, it’s quite a step up from the one he signed back in 2023. That old contract was worth only $743,700, which ain’t chump change but sure ain’t no $11 million either! Tarik’s new contract shows how much faith they got in him, and how much they value his skills on the mound. Big ol’ raise for that boy! I reckon he’ll be workin’ real hard to prove they made a good choice. Now, I ain’t sure what the future holds, but one thing’s for sure: he’s one pitcher worth watchin’.
It’s still early in the offseason, so we don’t know how things are gonna shake out for Tarik and the Tigers. Ain’t no final decisions yet on extensions, but both the Tigers’ big man, Scott Harris, and ol’ Scott Boras sound open to the idea. Time will tell, like it always does in baseball. But one thing’s for sure, that Skubal boy’s makin’ a name for himself, and if he keeps pitchin’ like he’s been doin’, well, they won’t be able to keep him for long.
So, there you have it. Tarik Skubal’s got him a shiny new contract for 2025. Ain’t no small potatoes, I tell ya. And I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more talks in the future ‘bout him stickin’ around longer with them Tigers. Stay tuned, folks, baseball’s a funny game, and anything can happen next.
