Grab your Old English D and listen up, because our two-time Cy Young ace Tarik Skubal came out and said what every one of us has been praying for — he wants to finish the season with the Tigers and chase a championship right here in Detroit! Skubal flat out told us "I think we have a chance to win World Series," and after clawing back from a 22-38 hole at the start of June, who are we to argue! The 29-year-old had surgery May 6 to remove a loose body from his pitching elbow, got off the canvas and returned to the bump on June 13, and he's rolling at 6-5 with a sparkling 2.83 ERA! Front office has until Aug. 3 to decide whether to keep our guy or deal him, and Skubal can hit free agency after the World Series, so the intrigue is real! Manager A.J. Hinch put it best: "There's a lot of intrigue around him and the reason is, he's really good"! Feisty ace Skubal takes the ball Friday night against the Royals at Comerica Park, and you won't want to miss it!
