According to reports, last year the Tigers offered Scoobel less than $170 million over four years—covering his arbitration years and initial free agency period. Industry insiders, like Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, clarify that the offer was approximately $100 million for four years, roughly 2025-2026, which was a tentative figure based on arbitration projections. Scoobel, represented by Scott Boris, is said to have a baseline asking price of around $400 million—a significant jump from the Tigers’ initial offer.
