Tarik Skubal Greeted Mostly with Cheers and Smattering of Boos in Detroit Return with Dodgers
- On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal returns to Comerica Park to face the Detroit Tigers, marking his first start against his former team since being traded 27 days ago.
- A two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, Skubal anchored the Tigers' rotation from 2018 until the organization traded him to Los Angeles on August 1 for three prospects.
- Facing close friends creates a "challenge" for the pitcher, who told reporters he must ignore the emotion of returning to a place that is "obviously special" to him.
- While the Tigers showed a video montage and displayed "Thank you, Tarik" on the videoboard, most fans clapped for the ace, though a smattering of boos accompanied his introduction.
- FanSided writer John Perrotto projects Skubal will become the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history this offseason, predicting a massive eight-year, $375 million contract for the upcoming free agent.
