What evidence do you have that he doesn’t care about the current team? Really bad take. 

And he’s not trading Skubal at the deadline if the team is in contention—if they were committed to extracting value for him, they’d do it now when he is most attractive in trade.

I agree.

IMO... there is NO deadline trade of Skubal.

Either we get a godfather offer soon, and Harris pulls the trigger on a deal he likes...

Or we get an entire season of Skubal and simply take the 2027 comp pick.

Could have some great fun this summer, with Skubal...

Not a bad place to be either way.

The only way to get Skubal to not hit the open market is to knock his and Boras' socks off with an offer. Say like 3-years, $180 million. This allows Skubal to potentially cash in again plus it allows the Tigers to get a massive contract off of the books fairly quickly. Hopefully, CI will pry open his wallet quickly enough to get such a deal done.

that would be a horrible deal for Skubal - pitchers get injured and he has already been injured

he is not foregoing $200M+ of guaranteed money to sign for 3 years

Nice to see you post TTF.  It's been a long time, eh?
