Detroit Tigers ace and last season's American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is in for a massive payday once he agrees to his looming next contract. He is under team control with the Tigers through the end of the '26 season, unless both parties agree to a long-term extension before then.
He's the dominant arm who helped power Detroit's magical run to the postseason last year as well as the Tigers' league-leading 49–30 record in 2025. There's no question whether Skubal will command a gigantic number in his next contract—potentially the richest deal for a pitcher ever (outside of Shohei Ohtani).
