We never seem to ever get more than 6 out of him, we do from melton Mize and montero more often than we do scoby.

It is crazy how much power Outman has. His three run Homer was just a half-ish swing. If he could only hit for average .

The tigers will probably wait till at least July 7th and 8th before trading Skubal.
The Detroit Tigers are hosting a unique, back-to-back puzzle bobblehead giveaway on July 7 and July 8, 2026, celebrating ace Tarik Skubal. The two individual bobblehead will connect together.

Yanks barely make Skubal sweat as anticipated pitchers' duel turns one-sided.

Tigers' Skubal gets early run support in 9-3 win over Yankees.
Pitcher’s duel? What pitcher’s duel.
It was billed as a battle between the reigning American League Cy Young winner and the leader in the clubhouse for the award this season.
Tarik Skubal held up his end of the deal.
But the Tigers spoiled the storyline for right-hander Cam Schlittler and the Yankees, clubbing five home runs in a series-winning 9-3 romp Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
Detnews
Detroit Tigers tee off on New York Yankees with 5 homers in win.
The Detroit Tigers showed no fear or intimidation facing Cam Schlittler, the New York Yankees superstar who entered Tuesday, June 30, as the favorite to win the American League Cy Young award.
The Tigers weren’t timid, either. They were aggressive and decisive, launching four homers off Schlittler in a 9-3 victory at Yankee Stadium.
It was stunning, to say the least.
Freep
Tigers blast five homers, beat Yankees for second straight night.
Mlive
The Tigers hit four home runs of at least 400 feet in the first three innings, tying the Statcast Era record for the most by a team in that span.
The Tigers ended June on a high note. After a miserable May in which they went 6-22, the Tigers finished June with a 15-11 record. They hit 49 home runs in June, tying the franchise record for most in any single month.

ChatGPT is fun...
Combining the detroit tigers current short-comings with what is perceived available in MLB players and prospects, who should the tigers ask in return for Skubal?
===============================================
If the Tigers decided to trade Tarik Skubal, they should treat him like the baseball equivalent of an NFL franchise quarterback. An ace with Cy Young-level production and (assuming multiple years of control, or even a year-plus before free agency) is one of the most valuable trade assets in the sport. The return should reshape the organization—not just replenish it. Recent reporting suggests Detroit would only move him if it believes its playoff odds have meaningfully collapsed. ([MLB.com][1])
### What Detroit actually needs
The Tigers' long-term core is strongest in:
* Starting pitching
* Young infield talent
* Catching depth
The areas that still need impact talent are:
* A middle-of-the-order right-handed bat
* A long-term third baseman (if not already solved internally)
* Corner outfield power
* High-end bullpen upside
Because of that, I'd prioritize **elite position-player talent over pitching prospects**. Detroit already develops pitchers well.
## My ideal asking price
I'd insist on:
* One Top-10 overall MLB prospect
* One MLB-ready everyday hitter
* One additional Top-100 prospect
* One upside lottery-ticket arm
Anything less isn't enough.
## Teams I'd target
### Chicago Cubs
This is probably my favorite fit.
Ask for:
* Matt Shaw
* Owen Caissie
* Cade Horton
If they refuse Horton:
* Kevin Alcántara instead.
That gives Detroit:
* future 3B
* power OF
* rotation depth
---
### Boston Red Sox
Demand:
* Roman Anthony
Start there.
If Anthony is untouchable...
* Marcelo Mayer
* Jhostynxon Garcia
* another premium arm
Without Anthony or Mayer, I'd hang up.
---
### Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers have prospect depth but fewer elite headliners than in previous years.
I'd ask for:
* Dalton Rushing
* Josue De Paula
* Jackson Ferris
---
### Baltimore Orioles
If Baltimore became aggressive:
* Samuel Basallo
* Coby Mayo
* another premium prospect
That immediately injects elite offensive upside.
---
### Seattle Mariners
Seattle has exactly the type of young hitters Detroit lacks.
Ask for:
* Colt Emerson
* Lazaro Montes
* Michael Arroyo
I'd be thrilled with that package.
---
## Teams I'd avoid
### New York Yankees
The Yankees simply don't have enough elite prospect depth.
Unless they include:
* George Lombard Jr.
I don't think they can assemble the best offer. Reports have also indicated New York is reluctant to move Lombard. ([New York Post][2])
---
## If I were Scott Harris...
My opening demand to every club would be something like:
> "Give us your No. 1 prospect, your best young MLB hitter under team control, another Top-100 prospect, and a fourth upside piece. Otherwise we're keeping Skubal."
That's how valuable Skubal is.
### My favorite hypothetical package
From the Cubs:
* Matt Shaw
* Owen Caissie
* Cade Horton
* one additional high-upside lower-level prospect
That addresses Detroit's biggest organizational weakness—middle-of-the-order position players—while still adding another potential impact starter.
One additional thought: if the Tigers believe they can realistically sign Skubal to a long-term extension, I would **not** trade him. A legitimate Cy Young-caliber ace entering his prime is one of the hardest assets in baseball to replace, and even a blockbuster prospect haul carries significant uncertainty. The threshold to move him should therefore be extraordinarily high.

With the way this team has preform since Skuba return, I must review my thinking. Should Tigers continue this trend maybe they need to resign him, yea I've said it! And Mize when Healthy is as good as many. BTW Jack's ERA for June is 2.50 with his only win on the season. My goodness Tigers have go tto get the offence going!
PS Zack M hit .257 in June. Carp .257 with 6 homers Lee .360 2 HRs, Green .247 5 hrs DD .330 8 HRs, Torres .341 2 hrs got get this man healthy!, the kid KM .281 bot hit 3of6 hrs in June.
