Tarik Skubal has 54 career wins in Major League Baseball, but on Thursday he may have earned his most lucrative victory yet\u2014against his current club. The two-time Cy Young Award winner won his arbitration hearing against the Detroit Tigers, and the ramifications could be larger than many anticipate.<\/p>\n

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the historic win for Skubal, his agent Scott Boras, and the entire Players Association. Skubal will make a record $32 million after winning his arbitration hearing. This decision sets a precedent for future cases and could help determine Skubal\u2019s long-term future in Detroit. With the Tigers\u2019 acquisition of Framber Valdez, could the team be more willing to move on from their ace at some point this season?<\/p>\n
Later, Jake and Jordan break down some of the most intriguing rosters from the World Baseball Classic after every team revealed its squad Thursday night, including which teams may have been impacted by insurance issues. They then make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla, including an update on the Emmanuel Clase gambling investigation and an incredibly unique giveaway from the Toronto Blue Jays this season.<\/p>\n
