Skubal Returns to Detroit in Dodgers Uniform | Amarillo News

Drafted by Detroit in 2018 and loyal until this offseason trade, Skubal’s departure came with minor league prospects in return — a move the Tigers hoped would secure his future over free agency. Though he’d hoped to help them win a title since ’84, the Tigers’ manager admitted their familiarity with him won’t give them an edge at the plate — a bittersweet moment for a player who once defined their pitching staff.
