The Detroit Tigers have announced that they can trade ace Tarik Scubal, who shines in the Cy Young Award, for the second consecutive year.

Scott Harris, president of the Detroit baseball division, interviewed local reporters at the Major League Winter Meeting held in Orlando, Florida on the 9th (Korea time) about the possibility of a scooped trade, saying, "It's a really hard question to answer. Because for two reasons..."First of all, we don't carelessly talk about any of the players on the roster in trade negotiations. It's not productive, it's not fair to our team players."

Then on the second reason "It's all the more so because I'm here now. In any case, I don't believe there is a 'untouchables'. I'm not specifically talking about Tarik. It's kind of a comprehensive team building approach."

However, the interest is whether there is a possibility to trade Scubal in the end. President Harris said "I can't do what I'm in charge of without listening to others. There is nothing that can be done without identifying the relevant issues, whether there is a way or not"Some are very likely deals, some can be very difficult deals. If you don't want to listen carefully, you can't fully review those opportunities.'

It is interpreted as a willingness to review and negotiate if there is a proposal to trade Scubal. "I don't know if it helped you, but I think at least it did provide some logical basis for why we were adopting this approach," Harris said," he added.

MLB.com responded by saying, `There has been no sign that any negotiations have begun in earnest until today. The Tigers will continue negotiations on Scoobull as part of their rotation plan for 2026 and when asked how Detroit will paint the rotation with Scoobull and Casey Mize becoming FA after next year, Harris replied that he doesn't think about the future now.

President Harris said 'We're only focused on 2026 right now for a number of reasons. After the end of next season, uncertainty grows tremendously. As such, we are only focusing on next year"If there is a chance to make next year better, we will accept it. But right now we are a good team, and as a young team, we also have the opportunity to go one step further. We will continue to make efforts to find a way to add to that."

It can be said that it has been vaguely explained in terms of justification and reason that there is a possibility of a scoop trade.

It is this offseason when Detroit can benefit the most from trading Scubal. The value of Scoobul, who will become an FA a year later, is the best now. At least until next summer's trade deadline, we can get a number of immediate power and prospects in exchange.




Skubal, who will turn 30 at the end of next year, has an estimated ransom of more than $300 million. It is highly likely to exceed the ransom of New York Yankees' Gerrit Cole ($324 million for nine years) and Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto ($325 million for 12 years).

The Detroit Free Press, a local media outlet, recently reported 'SCOVAL's agent believes his value is more than $400 million in the FA market, and Detroit will be able to offer about $300 million'400 million is realistic for ScoVAL. 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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered likely to be the target team for trade. The Athletic columnist Jim Borden predicted Tyler Glasnow, Emmett Sianne and minor league prospect outfielder Zahier Hope as the trade package the Dodgers will give out.
