About this listen
Detroit Tigers fans, the "rebuild" is officially a thing of the past. In one of the most explosive weeks in franchise history, the Tigers have solidified a rotation that isn't just the best in the AL Central—it might be the best in baseball.
In this episode of Buffed Up Sports, I break down the two massive moves that have shifted the MLB landscape:
⚾ Tarik Skubal’s Historic Payday
Tarik Skubal didn't just win his arbitration case; he broke the bank. By being awarded $32 million, Skubal has set the record for the highest arbitration salary in MLB history. I discuss the massive $13 million gap between the team and the player and what this means for a long-term extension in Detroit.
⚾ The Framber Valdez Blockbuster
The Tigers landed their second ace by signing Framber Valdez to a 3-year, $115 million deal. At a staggering $38.33 million AAV, Valdez is now the highest-paid left-handed pitcher per year in the history of the game.
