Tigers-Tarik Skubal arbitration standoff led to the exact outcome fans feared most

The 1 PM EST arbitration deadline on Thursday was hardly a deadline at all. While the majority of arb-eligible players did file and reach an agreement with their respective teams by that mark, more continued to trickle in far past it, and a few are still in limbo.

The Tigers settled with all of Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, Kerry Carpenter, Zach McKinstry, Casey Mize, Tyler Holton, and Will Vest, leaving Tarik Skubal, unsurprisingly, the last man standing.

All of baseball's eyes are on Skubal, the expected highest earner of this year's arb class. MLB Trade Rumors predicted he'll get $17.
