Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is heading toward free agency, and his upcoming market could resemble the blockbuster deal that Juan Soto secured, according to analysis from MLB insiders.

Skubal, a left-handed starter who has emerged as one of the American League's most dominant pitchers, is expected to command a historic contract when he hits the open market. Comparisons to Soto's record-setting agreement highlight the premium placed on elite, young talent in today's game.

The Tigers have yet to reach a long-term extension with Skubal, setting the stage for a high-stakes offseason that could reshape the franchise's future.
