Tarik Skubal Greeted Mostly with Cheers and Smattering of Boos in Return to Detroit with Dodgers

  • On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal returns to Comerica Park to face the Detroit Tigers, marking his first start against his former team since being traded 27 days ago.
  • A two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, Skubal anchored the Tigers' rotation from 2018 until the organization traded him to Los Angeles on August 1 for three prospects.
  • Facing close friends creates a "challenge" for the pitcher, who told reporters he must ignore the emotion of returning to a place that is "obviously special" to him.

  • FanSided writer John Perrotto projects Skubal will become the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history this offseason, predicting a massive eight-year, $375 million contract for the upcoming free agent.
