In today's episode of The Detroit Tigers Lowball Tarik Skubal, MLB insider Jon Heyman claims the offer Detroit made last year to the superstar starter was for four years and less than $80 million. This comes after Heyman dropped the misleading report of a $250 million gap between Skubal and the Tigers.
The initial report hid the fact that the original offer came a year ago and was not part of recent negotiations. When you think about it logically, of course, the Tigers would have offered Skubal less before the 2025 season.
