Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal — the 2024 American League Cy Young winner — joins the “Days of Roar” podcast as pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Lakeland, Florida. Skubal talks about his 2024 season, the development of his pitches, and his expectations for the 2025 season, along with discussing fatherhood, lessons learned from former teammate Jordan Zimmermann, joining the MLB Players Association executive subcommittee, what he thinks about free agency, and the make of his new SUV. Marquee Sports Network player development analyst Lance Brozdowski also joins “Days of Roar” to evaluate all of the starting pitchers on the Tigers’ 40-man roster, including his thoughts on Jackson Jobe’s new pitch. Evan and Mark also break down the most important storyline for the Tigers in spring training. (Hint: It’s third base.)
