Braves could land $10M Cy Young winner to create filthy rotation with Chris Sale, Spencer Strider originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Detroit Tigers are in an interesting position when it comes to Tarik Skubal. He\u2019s entering the final year of his contract in 2026, and his future remains far from settled. There are many possible outcomes, but at this point, a return to Detroit doesn\u2019t seem like the most likely scenario.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo things I believe to be true. 1. Scott Boras and Tarik Skubal want to hit free agency a year from now. No extension this offseason. 2. The Tigers are not going all in to win with Skubal in 2026,\u201d 97.1 The Ticket\u2019s Jim Costa posted.<\/p>\n

Skubal and the Tigers have had discussions about his future, but Detroit isn\u2019t budging. The two sides are so far apart that there\u2019s reportedly a massive $250 million gap in extension talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tigers and superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal have a lot of work to do if they\u2019re going to bridge quite possibly the biggest gap in MLB negotiating history: an estimated quarter of a billion dollars. Yep, that\u2019s not a misprint. It\u2019s close to $250 million,\u201d New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves could be a team willing to go all in for Skubal \u2014 and adding him might give them the best rotation in baseball.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the details matter here, the simple idea of Atlanta going after Skubal makes loads of common sense. The Braves need more starting pitching and want to compete at a high level in 2026. Skubal is the prohibitive favorite to win his second straight Cy Young this season and will likely remain among the Cy Young favorites for the foreseeable future assuming he stays healthy. Every single team in baseball would love to have a guy like that including the Braves,\u201d HTHB\u2019s Eric Cole wrote.<\/p>\n

A rotation featuring Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, Reynaldo L\u00f3pez, and Skubal would be flat-out dominant. With that group, the Braves could have the firepower to make a serious World Series push. Skubal to Atlanta would make things very interesting, to say the least.<\/p>\n
