Agent Scott Boras did not counter the Detroit Tigers’ initial arbitration offer of $19.8 million for pitcher Tarik Skubal, the highest proposed salary in arbitration history. The Tigers made their offer ahead of the deadline but only learned of Boras’ $32 million bid during their final exchange. Ultimately, Detroit submitted a lower figure of $19 million, resulting in a hearing to resolve the $13 million discrepancy. Former MVP Josh Donaldson criticized the Tigers for mishandling the situation with their ace, who is set to become a free agent in 2026.
