An annual rite of passage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Some trade and free agency news below, as Alex Bregman once again signs somewhere other than Detroit, but at least this time it\u2019s in a different league, and Nolan Arenado finally got the trade he was gunning for all last offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019ll also look at a former Tiger who is on the Hall of Fame ballot, and some strong words about Tarik Skubal we were too polite to share outside our group chat that Jim Bowden said for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Let\u2019s get right into it!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Detroit Tigers News<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li\/>\n<li\/><\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"content-blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote\">\n<p class=\"\">The Tigers are a file-and-trial organization, which means if they file, they go to a salary arbitration hearing and don\u2019t settle. Last week, the Tigers filed at $19 million, while Skubal and his agent, Scott Boras, filed at $32 million. Keep in mind just two years ago Juan Soto broke the record when he and the Yankees agreed to a $31 million salary in his final year of arbitration. That came right after Soto finished sixth in the NL MVP voting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">You\u2019re telling me that in his final year of arbitration-eligibility, Skubal shouldn\u2019t earn more than Soto did? How do the Tigers rationalize their filing number? Compare it to David Price\u2019s arbitration figure from 11 years ago \u2014 $19.75 million \u2014 which was even more than the Tigers\u2019 offer to Skubal. The next year, Price landed a long-term deal in free agency with the Red Sox worth $31 million a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"\">This one is worth opening on the X website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"\">Some of the Tigers caught a Red Wings game together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"\">Four games you won\u2019t be able to watch without subscribing to yet another streaming service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading\">AL Central News<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li\/>\n<li\/><\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading\">MLB News<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"\">A sad loss for the Pirates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"\">This is genuinely so sweet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"consent\"\/><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source sports.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Wednesday, everyone.
