Should the Yankees make a run for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal ?

Former Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin says yes.

“Tigers clearly don’t want to pay him or they would have already.... I’m sure they’re trying to justify or convince themselves how’s it’s probably not smart to pay Skubal what he deserves,” Maybin wrote on X .

“This is the Yankees. If you want to win you find a way to make it happen!”

The Tigers, who reached the ALDS this season, will need to decide whether they’ll make Skubal available in trade discussions. With Scott Boras as his agent, Skubal is unlikely to give the Tigers a discount or even sign before he reaches free agency.

In 2025, Skubal was 13-6 with a 2.21 ERA through 31 starts with 241 strikeouts over 195 1/3 innings. He won the AL Cy Young Award this year.
