Tarik Skubal Greeted Mostly with Cheers and Smattering of Boos in Return to Detroit with Dodgers
- On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal returns to Comerica Park to face the Detroit Tigers, marking his first start against his former team since being traded 27 days ago.

- FanSided writer John Perrotto projects Skubal will become the highest-paid pitcher in baseball history this offseason, predicting a massive eight-year, $375 million contract for the upcoming free agent.
