Tarik Skubal’s name is going to spend the entire offseason in trade rumors.
But will the Detroit Tigers actually deal the best pitcher in the American League? That’s a lot less certain.
It’s not even entirely clear that Skubal wants to go anywhere.
On Thanksgiving, he may have provided fans a hint.

Skubal was evidently watching the halftime show of the Detroit Lions’ NFL game. It featured Jack White and Eminem.
The lefty ace put this post on X:
Goosebumps… @Eminem @jackwhite
You guys available April 3rd? 🐯— Tarik Skubal (@TarikSkubal) November 27, 2025

April 3 checks out as the date of the Tigers’ home opener.
Would a player who wants out of town post this? Seems unlikely.
The Tigers made a good run at it this season with Skubal, even though they didn’t get to the final destination.
Having Skubal take the ball to open a new season seems like a good plan.
And if the Tigers get the musical act Skubal wants, too, it could be even better vibes for those in Detroit.
