"For the past few seasons, The Tigers have been Tarik Skubal and the Skubettes. Fans, who are for some reason obsessed with 'value', have been wishing a Skubal trade into existence for multiple seasons in a row now."
"Last season, in his two ALDS starts, he threw seven innings of two-run baseball and six innings of one-run baseball. They lost each game by a final score of 3-2."
"The Tigers choked away a 15.5-game lead in the American League Central to the Cleveland Guardians. In a twist of cruel fate for Guardians' fans, however, they played the Tigers in the Wild Card round, and Skubal struck out 14 over 7.2 innings in game one."
"Detroit ranked 11th in runs per game, 14th in runs allowed per game, and 15th in fielding run value last season."
The Tigers have centered their team around Tarik Skubal, who has been a standout pitcher. Despite fans advocating for a trade, the team has chosen to retain him, aiming for playoff success. Skubal's performance in the ALDS has been strong, yet the team has faced defeats. The Tigers experienced a significant collapse in the standings but managed to win a Wild Card series with Skubal's impressive pitching. Their overall performance metrics indicate they are competitive within the weaker American League Central division.
