Detroit Tigers ace reveals his approach to the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Tarik Skubal struck out four in two innings of work against the Minnesota Twins in his 2026 spring training debut.

There are only a handful of MLB teams that even have the firepower to potentially land Tarik Skubal in a massive blockbuster trade. You could consider the Philadelphia Phillies one of those teams, as they might have a combination of trade capital and a strong cast of productive MLB players to make a deal work.

On Monday in a spring training game against the Tigers, fans should be even more hyped for what Abel can bring to the table. With two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal being his counterpart, Abel went punch-for-punch with the best pitcher in baseball in his first outing of the year.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal had a message on Sunday.
