Will Tigers Pony up for Skubal

[SoCalTiger]

Skubal will be pitching for Detroit in 2026 for many reasons so let's enjoy that. It's not the same as Ohtani because the Angels were not in the playoffs the preceding two years like we were. Nor were they playing in a weak division. Plus it's always easier to push off hard decisions to a later date. Maybe the new collective bargaining agreement will bail them out in some manner. Harris is probably relieved to pass the hot tamale over to Chris.

I give Harris credit for bringing the organization to a much better place.  I don't know if they are the elite cutting edge organization some are making them out to be, but they have at least caught up to some of the more analytical organiztions.    I don't really give Avila much credit.  I just don't think that Harris has done anything extraordinary at the MLB level yet.   I will give Harris full credit when he wins with the team totally crafted by him. 

I guess I see what you mean. I mean, sure Avila did put losers on the field for a bunch of years running, but it's already been three years and Harris hasn't put a winner on the field with this team y ... wait ... uhh ... I mean, he hasn't led this team to the playoffs or anyt ... errr ... I guess what I mean is, we haven't actually won any playoff ser ...

Maybe I don't really see what you mean after all.
