## Resource

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down the massive implications of Tarik Skubal’s elbow injury and what it means for his season, the Tigers, and a potentially historic free agency payday. They also dive into Framber Valdez’s rough outing and controversial hit-by-pitch, before debating whether there’s any real reason to worry about Shohei Ohtani’s hitting struggles when he pitches. Plus, the guys hand out their MLB awards after the first month of the season.
