Tarik Skubal to The Bronx?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin argued that trading for the Tigers ace would let the Bombers \u201ctake over the entire league.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Kyle] Tucker and [Cody] Bellinger will shake up somebody\u2019s offseason, but the move that would take over the entire league is the Yankees going to get Skubal,\u201d Maybin wrote in an X post<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Maybin \u2014 who enjoyed a solid 2019 with the Yankees<\/a> \u2014 is no stranger to being traded by the Tigers, as he was sent to the Marlins as part of a massive eight-player trade in Dec. 2007 that sent slugger Miguel Cabrera to Detroit.<\/p>\n

The retired journeyman ripped his former team\u2019s handling of Skubal.<\/p>\n

\u201cTigers clearly don\u2019t want to pay him or they would have already. \u2026 I\u2019m sure they\u2019re trying to justify or convince themselves [how] it\u2019s probably not smart to pay Skubal what he deserves,\u201d Maybin said.<\/p>\n

Skubal, 29, has developed into arguably the best starting pitcher in baseball. <\/p>\n

The left-hander won his second consecutive American League Cy Young Award in 2025, going 13-6 with a league-leading 2.21 ERA in 31 starts.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Skubal locked down the AL Triple Crown, leading the league in wins (18), ERA (2.39) and strikeouts (228).<\/p>\n

Despite that success, the Tigers have reportedly been reluctant to meet Skubal\u2019s hefty price tag before he\u2019s set to hit free agency after the 2026 season, prompting a flurry of trade rumors.<\/p>\n

The Post\u2019s Jon Heyman reported last month that negotiations have been off by $250 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Skubal has dismissed the trade talks<\/a> \u2014 and questioned why his name has been floated at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all out of my control. \u2026 It\u2019s not like I want to be traded, so it\u2019s kind of like, why am I in these conversations to begin with?\u201d Skubal told \u201cFoul Territory\u201d on Thursday. \u201cAt the end of the day, it doesn\u2019t really impact anything that I\u2019m going to do day-to-day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybin added that acquiring Skubal, along with another Cy Young winner believed to be available in the trade market, would solidify the Yankees for postseasons to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut imagine pairing him with a healthy Sandy Alcantara in the Bronx along with [Max] Fried, [Gerrit] Cole, [Carlos] Rodon,\u201d Maybin said. \u201cThat is a playoff nightmare for every lineup in baseball. And I don\u2019t want to hear anything about payroll. This is the Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
