Skubal Wins Hearing, Awaits Tigers’ Next Move After $32M Ruling

Tarik Skubal won his record-setting arbitration case Thursday, landing $32 million instead of Detroit’s $19 million offer, per ESPN. The two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner topped Juan Soto’s $31 million arbitration mark and shattered Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s $19.9 million panel record. Skubal used the “special accomplishment” clause to cite $40M-plus ace comps, with MLBPA’s Bruce Meyer involved.
