With Tarik Skubal on the mound on Sunday Night Baseball, and the Tigers holding the best record in baseball, the conversation surrounding the AL Cy Young winner somehow turned to Skubal's free agency in a year and a half. Here's what ESPN's Buster Olney had to say during the broadcast:

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — It was naturally a superb start by Tarik Skubal that resulted in a 2-1 Detroit Tigers win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday night that ended a season-worst six-game losing streak for the team with the best record in the major leagues. However, Skubal didn’t get credit for the victory.
