#Tigers SP Tarik Skubal currently projects toward an 8 year, $300M extension in our system. The $37.5M APY would make him the highest average paid SP on a 4+ year contract in MLB history. Yoshinobu Yamamoto's $325M deal is the largest total value, but over a 12-year span.

Najee Harris signed a 1 year, $5.25M fully guaranteed contract with the #Chargers this past March. His season-ending Achilles injury means he'll miss out on the $4M of attainable rushing incentives, sending him back to the open market in reset mode next March.

James Conner is in Year 2 of a 3 year, $25M contract with the #Cardinals, earning $4M this season. An ankle injury will cost the 30-year-old $420,000 of per-game-active bonus, and none of his $8M salary for 2026 is guaranteed.

#RedSox RHP Lucas Giolito's 4.1 inning outing last night pushed his season total past 140. This converts his $14M club option for 2026 into a $19M mutual option. It's widely expected that Giolito declines the option, taking the $1.5M buyout to hit the open market.
