Detroit Tigers star Tarik Skubal is celebrating another AL Cy Young victory. The Tigers star once again dominated in 2025, and as a result, he is the first Detroit pitcher to repeat as Cy Young winner since 1968-69. However, even in the glory of victory, Skubal is unable to escape the rumors and discussion surrounding his name.
Skubal has been mentioned as a prime trade candidate this offseason. He is set to hit MLB Free Agency after the 2026 season. The now two-time reigning AL Cy Young award winner has not signed an extension with Detroit. At this point, it's unlikely he will do so before the end of 2026.
Of course, Skubal has not been traded yet. At this time, the Tigers are still trying to see if they can extend him. This has not stopped any speculation around his future. On Wed
