- The Detroit Tigers are 17th in payroll this year. They have $91M committed to 2026’s payroll and $28M committed to 2027’s payroll. There is zero reason they do not pay Tarik Skubal. If they don’t, don’t villainize the team that gives him a record deal. Villainize the Detroit
- The Red Sox have won 15 of 20 The Yankees have lost 15 of 20. You love to see it.
