At the beginning of October, Tarik Skubal helped expedite the end of the Guardians season with 7 2/3 dazzling innings in Detroit’s Game 1 win over the Guardians.
He limited the Guardians to just one run in an electric start while racking up a career-high 14 strikeouts and turning the mound at Progressive Field into his own personal playground.
Now imagine if he was doing that as a member of the Guardians.
But after being a thorn in the Guardians side for almost all of his six year MLB career, there’s more and more buzz growing about the Tigers potentially trading Skubal in the offseason ahead of his final year of team control.
