Stars such as Luis Robert Jr., Freddie Peralta, and Marcus Simion. Now, experts predict they'll go even bigger in next year's free agency, potentially handing out a record $4.29 million deal. To Ace Pitcher, Tariq Skubal Skubal, the Detroit Tigers lefty, just wrapped up back-to-back Saiyung Awards with dominant seasons, including a 2.39 earn run. Average and 228 strikeouts in 31 starts last year. Followed by an even tighter 2.21 this season, with two, 141 strikeouts. Fans and analysts see this as a perfect fit for the meds, who missed out on some targets but showed no hesitation to spend.
