Tarik Skubal Fires Back After ‘Un-American’ WBC Backlash

Skubal rejected claims he “hates his nation” after leaving Team USA following one WBC start. “It’s just not fair,” he said, explaining the March 17 final would have left only nine days before Detroit’s March 26 Opening Day. The Tigers ace added, “This country’s the greatest country in the world,” calling the anthem experience “special” and unforgettable for him.
