The Detroit Free Press published an article on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) titled 「Tarik Scubal's contract negotiations and potential trade considerations for the Detroit Tigers, and everything we need to know」.
The medium is 'Tigers or Scooby have a few scenarios to choose from. The Tigers trade Scoobull this winter, make him the most expensive pitcher in history, or just sign a one-year contract, saying that Scoobull agent Scott Boras is famous for waiting for his client to become an FA.
Then, on the 23rd, MLB.com reported that the 'Scoobal trade' will shake the Major League Baseball. The trade basis was specifically stated in an article titled 'Introducing the terms of the settlement.
Scoogul is a candidate to be evaluated as the biggest fish in the FA market after next season. Scubal, who received his first Cy Young Award last year, is also the strongest candidate for the AL Cy Young Award this year. It is safe to say that it has actually been confirmed. In 31 games, he pitched 195 ⅓ innings, marking 13-6, 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, WHIP 0.89, and a 0.200 hit rate. All of his ERA, strikeouts and pitching innings have improved since last year.

There are two reasons for the trade.
In other words, Skubal will eventually be on the market because this off-season is tradeable in that he will become an FA in a year, and Detroit does not have the financial capacity to pay for Skubal's ransom, which will soar to hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is hard to imagine Detroit, which has advanced to the postseason for two consecutive years and reached the Division Series, trading Scubal, its ace for the next 10 years, in common sense. But business is another matter.
The estimated ransom of Scubal, who will turn 30 at the end of next year, is more than $300 million. In terms of total value, it is never behind New York Yankees Gerrit Cole ($324 million for nine years) and Dodgers Yoshinobu Yamamoto ($325 million for 12 years). Detroit offered Skubal a four-year, $100 million extension late last year, but was rejected.
The Detroit Free Press reports that `Scoobal's agent believes his value is more than $400 million in the FA market, and Detroit will be able to offer about $300 million.' The $400 million is realistic for Scoobal. When asked in a podcast in June how about $425 million (about 610 billion won) for 10 years, Scubal laughed and replied that it was a pleasant condition' he said.
Detroit, which has never exceeded $200 million in payrolls, has no choice but to give up the scoop.
An AL official told MLB.com that `Detroit is looking to consider a scooped trade if the value rises sufficiently. But I don't know if they have the courage to let him go.'

The media outlet said, `If the Dodgers participate in the trade, Defola must be included in the outfielder's lake, which ranks 13th overall in the prospect list and No. 1 in the team. The Dodgers are cheap, but they have seven players in the top 100 prospects, not to mention rising star Rocky Sasaki, and President Andrew Friedman said, `If the goal is to enrich the mound, which is not the strongest, then they will use a lot of resources needed to trade scoops.'
He thought he could give Sasaki. Sasaki, who debuted in the Major League this year and was jagged during the regular season, is pitching well with an unexpected finish in the postseason. It is not known whether he will throw as a closer next year, but there is plenty of room to be included in the trade package. There is no club that can resist an ace like Scoobull.
