Has Skubal Thrown His Last Pitch as a Tiger?
About this episode
Sean Baligian opens with a blunt question that every Detroit fan is thinking: has Tarik Skubal made his final start in a Tigers uniform? From the lifeless bats and bad deadline moves to Scott Harris’ “smartest man in the room” decisions, Sean unloads on a front office that has turned watching October baseball into a chore. He argues the Tigers made themselves worse at the trade deadline, calls out delusional prospect hype, and warns that a massive roster overhaul is coming—because Harris wants “his” team.
Listeners weigh in live as Sean dismantles the logic of blind loyalty, defends A.J. Hinch from misplaced criticism, and doubles down on his belief that trading Skubal would be a colossal mistake. Between cynical laughs and birthday shoutouts for Todd, the show hits every note that makes Off The Air must-listen Detroit talk—unfiltered frustration, accountability, and a few late-night laughs.
Sean closes with a look toward the Habs’ upcoming season, the Penguins’ hot start, and a rumor that could send Sidney Crosby to Montreal.
