According to multiple MLB insiders, the Detroit Tigers and starting pitcher Tarik Skubal have agreed to a one-year deal for 2025.

The deal, worth 10.15 million dollars, will keep Skubal under contract for the next year and avoid tonight's 8:00 P.M. arbitration deadline. The Tigers will have another year to potentially negotiate a long term deal with Skubal before he becomes an unrestricted free agent following the 2026 season. He was previously signed to a one-year, 2.65 million dollar deal to avoid arbitration in 2024.

Skubal won the American League Cy Young award this past season as the league's best pitcher. The five-year Tiger had a 18-4 record last season with a 2.39 E.R.A., 228 strikeouts, and a .201 batting average allowed. 

Detroit finished last season 86-76 and won the AL Wild Card Series against the Astros.
