SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

This week we celebrated what everyone else now knows – that Tarik Skubal is the best pitcher in baseball and has added that coveted Cy Young Award to his resume.
Skubal has 2 more years left on his contract and his agent is Scott Boras who has a reputation of taking his clients to free agency. We learned that the 2 sides discussed a contract extension several weeks ago but Boras said the Tigers’ offer was too low.
Something similar happened back in 2013 when Max Scherzer won the Cy Young and the Tigers tried to extend him. He ended up leaving Detroit the next year.
Does winning a major award kill a player’s chances of staying with his team going forward? Does the Cy Young significantly bump up his value and contract length?
Or does it depend upon a player’s agent? Is Boras going to take his clients to free agency no matter what?
How does this award now impact Tarik Skubal’s future with Detroit?

How does the Cy Young Award now impact Tarik Skubal's future with Detroit?

1. The award will significantly boost the $$/length of his next contract and make it harder to extend him.

2. It really doesn't matter. Boras will be taking Skubal to free agency no matter what.

I must have missed this one. I think that Boras fully intends to wait until he hits free agency. If that's the case, the Tigers are going to have a HUGE decision to make next off season. If I'm the Tigers, there is no way you can let this man leave for nothing. I don't think they will be able to compete with the big boys, so hopefully trade him after next season (if he isn't willing to sign before then)

I forgot to post this first link here the other day. This does not bode well unless Ilitch Jr. is willing to throw big money at him.
