US EditionTigers Extend Hinch's Contract, Say They Can Sign Skubal Long-Term
Detroit Tigers secured manager A.J. Hinch's contract extension and plan to invest heavily to retain ace pitcher Tarik Skubal, who posted a 2.21 ERA with 241 strikeouts in 2024.
- Scott Harris announced during a Monday news conference that he extended A.J. Hinch's contract during the 2025 season and said ownership will provide resources to sign ace Tarik Skubal long term.
- During Hinch's fifth season, Scott Harris approached him about a second extension, reaching a quick deal after signing a 2023 long-term contract.
- Harris said, `We have an organizational policy to not share terms for non-player contracts`, and Skubal, the 2024 AL Cy Young winner, is set for a costly long-term deal after his one-year $10.15 million contract.
- On Monday, Scott Harris declined to disclose how long A.J. Hinch's contract runs after the team’s season ended last week, and both said they are planning for next year and beyond.
- Cost-first: keeping Tarik Skubal would require many millions from ownership, but Harris insisted Chris Ilitch will support payroll to keep him long term.
