Tigers' 2026 arbitration projections may not help with Tarik Skubal extension talks
MLB Trade Rumors predicts massive arbitration raises for the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, Riley Greene, and more.
You can just see the organization using this as an excuse.

October 14 in Tigers and mlb history:
1896: Future Negro Leagues star and Hall of Famer Oscar Charleston is born in Indianapolis.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F8bZN2RWEAAAIvE?format=jpg&name=360x360
1905: Christy Mathewson shuts out the Philadelphia Athletics, 2 - 0, to give the New York Giants the World Series in five games. All are shutouts, with Mathewson getting three, Joe McGinnity one, and Chief Bender of Philadelphia one.
1908: Before the smallest crowd in World Series history (6,210), the host Detroit Tigers are tamed on three hits by Orval Overall, who strikes out 10 in a 2 - 0 triumph. The Chicago Cubs win the World Series in five games. Upset over seating arrangements at the World Series, sports reporters form a professional group that will become the Baseball Writers Association of America.
1909: George Mullin of the Detroit Tigers outlasts three Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers for a 5 - 4 victory sends the World Series to a seventh game in Detroit. This is the first World Series to go the limit.
The first player to lead off a post season game with a HR was Detroit Tigers Davy Jones in 1909. He hit it to deep center field and it bounced over the wall for what today would be a ground rule double, but was a HR then.
1911: The Philadelphia Athletics go into the World Series minus their star rookie first baseman Stuffy McInnis. The veteran Harry Davis replaces him and drives in the first run as Chief Bender tries again to outpitch Christy Mathewson. The New York Giants are dressed in the same black uniforms they wore in their 1905 conquest of the Athletics, and this Series starts as their last meeting ended: Mathewson wins it, 2 - 1. The largest crowd ever to watch a ball game - 38,281 - is at the Polo Grounds. Gate receipts are $77,379.
1927: Walter Johnson retires as a player. "The Big Train retires with a 417 - 279 Won / Lost record, 2.17 ERA, a ML record 110 Shutouts, and at the time held the record for most Strikeouts with 3,509.
He will return to the majors as a manager.
1929: The Philadelphia Athletics rally for three runs in the 9th inning to beat the Chicago Cubs, 3 - 2, and take the World Series in five games. A two-run home run by Mule Haas ties the game and Bing Miller hits a RBI double to get the victory. There won't be another winning rally by a team down two runs in the 9th inning of a Series final game in the 20th century. The Arizona Diamondbacks, in 2001, will do it next.
1929: The Tigers sell one of their greatest hitters away when they send Harry Heilmann to the Cincinnati Reds for cash. Heilmann hit .344 in 1929 but will play only one season with the Reds before retiring.
Playing 15 seasons with Detroit, the right-handed hitting outfielder and future Hall of Famer won four batting titles, with 2,499 hits, 497 doubles, 145 triples, 164 home runs, 1209 runs, 1446 rbi, and batted .342/.410/.518/.927
1956: Lions jump out to a 17-0 lead and hang on to beat the Rams 24-21 & improve to 3-0, in front of over 56,000 fans at Briggs (Tiger) Stadium).
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cuzc8waW...jpg&name=large
1963: The Milwaukee Braves traded Bruce Brubaker to the Detroit Tigers for Pat Jarvis.
1965: Sandy Koufax pitches his second shutout to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 2 - 0 victory over the Minnesota Twins and the World Series in seven games.
1965: The New York Mets purchased Jack Hamilton from the Detroit Tigers.
1975: The Cincinnati Reds take a 2-1 lead in the World Series with a controversial 6 - 5, 10-inning victory over the Boston Red Sox in Cincinnati.
In the 10th inning, Reds pinch-hitter Ed Armbrister attempts a sacrifice bunt and bounces the ball in front of the plate. Boston catcher Carlton Fisk, in an attempt to field the ball, collides with Armbrister and throws the ball into center field while trying to force Cesar Geronimo at second base. Geronimo goes to third base and later scores the game winner, as Armbrister moves to second. Home plate umpire Larry Barnett rules there is no interference despite heated protests by the Red Sox.
1984: Kirk Gibson hits two home runs and Lance Parrish hits the other home run to lead the Detroit Tigers to an 8 - 4 victory and the Tigers 4th World Series Championship in game 5 over the San Diego Padres.
Tigers clinched the pennant, the ALCS, and the World Series at home at Tiger Stadium #Relive84
Alan Trammell named World Series MVP. Trammell went 9-20 with 2 home runs. #Relive84

1996: The Detroit Tigers selected Dave Hajek off waivers from the Houston Astros.
2002: Erik Sabel of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2004: The Detroit Tigers released Joe Vitiello.
2006: Magglio Ordonez hits a three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning off Oakland closer Huston Street to send the Tigers to the World Series. With two outs and the game tied 3-3, the Tigers get singles from Craig Monroe and Placido Polanco before Ordonez sends a blast into the left field stands, setting off a celebration at Comerica Park.

2009: Mike Hessman of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2012: The Tigers take a two games to none lead in the ALCS with a 3 - 0 shutout of the Yankees at New Yankee Stadium. Anibal Sanchez pitches 7 innings in another strong outing by a Detroit starter. Hiroki Kuroda retires the first 15 Tigers batters but allows a run in the 6th on a botched potential double play grounder. A blown call by second base umpire Jeff Nelson in the 8th leads to two more runs, and results in manager Joe Girardi's ejection.
2015: Josh Wilson of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2017: The Astros take a two games to none lead in the ALCS with a 2 - 1 defeat of the Yankees in Game 2. Justin Verlander pitches a masterful complete game and the Astros score the winning run in the bottom of the 9th as Jose Altuve runs all the way from first base on a double to right by Carlos Correa off Aroldis Chapman.
2022: The Detroit Tigers selected Michael Papierski off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.

Will Tigers trade Tarik Skubal in 2025-26 offseason? Scott Harris: "I can't comment on our players being traded. I can't comment on free agents. I can't comment on other teams' players. I'm going to respond by just not actually commenting on it."
Tigers in 2024-25: Tarik Skubal starts: 42-20. Non-Skubal starts: 131-131.
Scott Harris: "It would be arrogant and tone-deaf to claim that we can do all this stuff without him, but it's also offensive to the other players in the clubhouse to treat us as a one-player team."

The worst Tigers conversation is already happening just days after their season ended
There is already growing speculation that the Detroit Tigers could look to trade Tarik Skubal this offseason if they don't plan on extending him beyond 2026.
The body isn't even cold.....

Scott Harris responds to speculation of Tigers possibly trading Tarik Skubal
Scott Harris wouldn’t commit on Tarik Skubal’s future, keeping both an extension and a blockbuster trade in play as the Tigers enter a pivotal offseason.
Detroit isn’t showing its cards on its ace. That choice tells us how this front office plans to play the offseason.
