Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal expressed regret for not undergoing an offseason MRI on his elbow and suggested his recent performance may be his last at Comerica Park. He implied a strained relationship with the team’s front office contributed to his decision to postpone medical imaging.
Skubal, speaking after a recent start, stated he “should have” gotten an MRI during the offseason but did not. He admitted that Wednesday's home game against the Kansas City Royals might be his final appearance at Comerica Park, though he didn’t elaborate on the reasons behind this belief.
The Tigers ace suggested frustration with the team’s front office played a role in his decision to delay getting an MRI. “I probably should have gotten it,” Skubal said. “But I didn't want to deal with that side of things, honestly.” He did not provide further details about what specifically he meant by “that side of things” or the nature of his issues with team management.
The pitcher’s comments come amid speculation regarding his future with the Tigers, as he is eligible for free agency after the 2024 season. While Skubal didn't directly address contract negotiations or potential trades, his remarks about a possible final home start and reluctance to engage with the front office raise questions about his long-term commitment to the team.
