What should the Tigers do about Skubal this offseason? #DetroitTigers #Skubal #Tigers #MLB #Baseball

the Terk Scoo conversation. I want to present three options. Option A, you’re not going to pay them. This organization really gets jolly over prospects and you trade them. You get a package that probably includes some MLB talent, prospects, which will get everybody all bricked up and uh the scoo era is done. You’ll be traded to the Mets, Dodgers, Padres’s, something of that sort. Option B is you pay him. You only have about 96 million committed to the payroll next year and it will go up. You have to factor in arbitration and different things, but you sign him for whatever he asks for, but you’re in your window. He’s a fan favorite. You’re never going to have another pitcher like him. Option three is a hybrid. The hybrid is we’re not going to pay you, but we’re going to use up all that toothpaste, and we’re going to go all in this off season by way of free agency, a bold trade, and we’re going to make Scubble’s Swanong the best version of ourselves that we can before we lose him. That while we’re not going to pay him, we’re also not going to give away our best chance to win. What do you want? I choose option C. I’m gonna go all in in free agents. I’m gonna I’m gonna do whatever I can to make next year. We’re going to be the best team ever. We’re going to go for broke and I’ll see what happens at the end of the season. If he wants to resign here, fine. If not, you know what? No regrets. We’re going to get bats. We’re going to get arms. We’re going to do everything that we can. We’re going to max out that credit card. You’re going to take the money that you would have committed to Scooble and you’re going to split it amongst three players. I’m in a different place. I either pay them or I trade them. who don’t want to sign this type of deal, but it beats the alternative. What message does it send to the fan base if you trade Terk Cooper? What message does that send? It’s the same thing the Brewers got put through. They had Corbin Burns. They weren’t going to pay him. We got to trade him. And they still ended up having a nice year. What happened in the playoffs? Well, cute stories go to die. I’m not vilifying any opinion on this. All three are very legitimate.
