Teams think they can get Skubal because of the contract he'll be getting. In 2 years. Seriously, if he's a free agent in 2027, we have his services for 2 more seasons. Do Tiger fans see us contending in the next 2 seasons? Trading him at the trade deadline in '26 won't bring as big of a return as right now. We could build a team around players he's dealt for. Maybe actually be serious contenders that much sooner. I hate to say or see it but a case can be made for trading him. At least listen to the best offers and see what's even offered for him. But any returns have to be MLB ready players, not prospects that flame out in 2 years. Quality over quantity.
