During a recent appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast, the former Tigers ace discussed the possibility of returning to the organization when he reaches free agency after the season. “Our players love playing here. That may be about as much as Harris can say publicly at this stage, but Skubal’s comments are notable considering how his Tigers tenure ended. Harris also pointed to Detroit’s stunning 2024 playoff run as evidence that counting out the Tigers in August can be dangerous. The Tigers have a postseason race to navigate, Skubal has a championship opportunity with Los Angeles and free agency won’t arrive until after the season.
