Podcasts should grow and evolve as they stick to their fundamental principles. That’s what this episode reinforces, as it projects to expect in 2026. As I continue to cultivate a like-minded band of listeners who share my passion for the game of baseball, I also plan to make each episode more inspiring and more interactive, while covering the game in the same, eclectic way that I have for the past 18 months.

A listener asked me this question that I had not previously considered. I was comfortable just letting this scenario play out. His inquiry led me to respond with an answer that presents a specific plan gives the Tigers the best chance to responsibly sign Skubal or, more likely, receive the best possible and comparable value in a trade.
