## Resource

The Detroit Tigers are facing a brutal reality: they must trade ace pitcher Tarik Skubal before he walks away for free. With a losing streak and fading playoff hopes, the team can’t afford to let Skubal depart without a return. His agent’s reputation and impending free agency make this a high-stakes move, but contenders know he’s a rental and won’t pay top dollar. The Tigers need to maximize value — even considering moving other veterans — to rebuild for the future. History warns against holding onto talent too long, and while it’s painful to part with Skubal, especially since he wants to stay, the smart, long-term play is to trade him now.
