The Detroit Tigers were baseball's best feel-good story this past season, largely in part due to their All-Star left-handed ace and likely Cy Young award winner, Tarik Skubal.Detroit relied on Skubal throughout their improbable run to the postseason and during their playoff run,

Scott Harris' comments at the GM Meetings make it sound like hopes for an eventful Tigers offseason were misguided.

Skubal also joined Tigers Cy Young winner and World Series Champion Justin Verlander (2009, 2010) as the only pitcher in franchise history since 1971 to accumulate at least 5.9 Fangraphs' calculation of wins above replacement in an age of 27-or-younger season.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal posted a 2.39 ERA with 35 walks and 228 strikeouts across 192 innings in 31 starts in 2024.

Tarik Skubal allowed 5 runs, including a one-out grand slam to Lane Thomas in the fifth inning as the Detroit Tigers lost, 7-3 in Game 5.

From being let go as part of the infamous Houston Astros scandal to leading the Detroit Tigers back to the playoffs for the first time in a decade, Hinch has led plenty of great baseball teams in his time.

Sometimes things are just that obvious, and in the case of Detroit Tigers' left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal, it's obvious that he should win the 2024 AL Cy Young Award.
