About this listen

Former Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Jackson joins The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen and cohost Kieran Steckley to talk the latest in the Tigers' offseason.

Detroit on Thursday reached agreements and avoided arbitration with seven players. Not among them? Tarik Skubal. Here's why Skubal's camp could be filing for a bigger salary figure than first expected, and why the Tigers might have to change their ways if they don't want a hearing.

Plus: Austin explains arbitration from a player's perspective. What's it like knowing how much all your coworkers make?

And is January time to get real before spring training?
