Tarik Skubal Reconsidering One-and-Done Plan for World Baseball Classic
- After his WBC debut Saturday, Tarik Skubal is rethinking his one-start plan and will consult the Detroit Tigers, Scott Boras, and family before deciding within days.
- Originally, Skubal planned one WBC outing before returning to Lakeland, Fla., but after pitching at Daikin Park, he felt strong emotions that led him to reconsider, saying, 'I didn't expect these types of emotions to run through my brain, or my thoughts to differ.'
- Tarik Skubal surrendered a first‑pitch homer to Nate Eaton then settled in to retire eight straight batters, finishing three innings on 41 pitches with five strikeouts.
- Skubal's potential WBC final on March 17 could clash with his March 26 Opening Day, and Hinch says no decision has been made, with more talks planned.
- Skubal enters a contract year making an arbitration‑record $32 million, with teammates supporting him 100% amid speculation of a $400 million free‑agent payday.
