00:03Tarek Skubal didn't just dominate in 2025, he delivered a season worthy of baseball's history books.

00:11The Tigers' hard-throwing lefty captured his second straight A.L. Cy Young Award,

00:15cementing his place among the game's elite, and doing it with unmistakable authority.

00:20In a near-unanimous vote, Skubal claimed 26 of 30 first-place ballots,

00:25leaving Boston's Garrett Crochet far behind.

00:27His 2.21 ERA, 0.891 whip, and 241 strikeouts against just 33 walks weren't merely all-star numbers,

00:37they reflected complete command.

00:40Across 195.1 overpowering innings, Skubal dictated every game he pitched.

00:46With his second straight win, Skubal becomes just the 12th pitcher ever to claim back-to-back Cy Young Awards.

00:52In the A.L., the last to do it was Pedro Martinez in 1999-2000.

00:59Joining the likes of Martinez, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddox highlights just how rare and demanding this achievement is.

01:07History rarely unfolds without tension, and for Skubal, the drama is now off the mound.

01:12Even as fans celebrate his dominance, his future in Detroit is uncertain.

01:18The rebuilding budget-conscious Tigers may need to offer more than $300 million to keep him,

01:23and with only one year of control left, trade rumors are growing louder.

01:27Skubal's place in Detroit Tigers history is secure.

01:31Alongside Denny McClain, he's now one of only two Tigers pitchers to win the Cy Young twice.

01:36For Tigers fans, Skubal's dominance is both a point of pride and a source of anxiety.

01:41His future? That remains the cliffhanger.

01:44If 2025 was a masterclass, then 2026 might be a final act, or a new chapter.

01:51The only certainty is that wherever Tarek Skubal pitches next, greatness is likely to follow.
