Scout’s note
A ninth-round pick out of Hayward who has fanned 1,075 hitters across 163 big-league games. That is the whole story with Tarik Skubal: the man misses bats.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 |
|---|---|
| Salary | Arb 3 |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
The Wire
▲ On the field: First FA projection at Valdez AAV; expects more years and total dollars easily.

The scouting press, in their own words
Brice Turang spent two days trying to fix his swing. Tarik Skubal paid the price in Game 1. Unlocked and free to read. https://t.co/I1JFNgGakf
Milwaukee has been waiting all postseason for a big swing from Brice Turang, and it finally arrived. He just took Tarik Skubal out to the opposite field, and as dominant as Skubal has looked and shaky as Jacob Misiorowski has been, it's now 1-1 in the fourth inning of Game 1.
Tarik Skubal's 4 strikeout pitches thus far: 92-mph changeup 99-mph sinker 97-mph 4-seamer 99-mph 4-seamer He's in complete command through 2 innings. @MLBNetwork
