MLB Free Agency: 2-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal could set more contract records next offseason
Skubal, a two-time AL Cy Young winner with a $32 million arbitration award, may break pitching contract records during uncertain MLB offseason amid potential salary cap and lockout.
- Tarik Skubal, Detroit Tigers left-hander, could set pitching-contract records in free agency after the World Series next fall amid potential lockout uncertainty.
- After winning his arbitration case, Skubal has a 13-6 record with a 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, and 33 walks in 195 1/3 innings, boosting his market value.
- Market comparisons show Yoshinobu Yamamoto's $325 million deal, alongside Robbie Ray's $21 million and Marcus Stroman's $71 million, set benchmarks for pitcher contracts.
- Past behavior suggests the CBA expires Dec. 1, and MLB appears on track to propose a salary cap, with a 99-day lockout precedent from previous negotiations.
- Other top arms like Freddy Peralta could join the free-agent pitching market, which includes high-end talent with 17 wins and 204 strikeouts last season.
