If it's just a labral tear, the outlook is actually pretty good, if there is some structural instability, then less so.

Yes, that's fair.

Nope

They don't consider "worth". The Tigers are presenting that a 90% salary increase is appropriate based on past history in arbitration. Boras is saying that more than tripling his salary can be justified in this case. Yes, he has to pick one or the other, but that doesn't mean his "worth" is mid range between the two.

Skubal is not going to extend. Arbitration is not necessarily based on what a player is "worth", it is based more on precedent, and what is reasonable and fair, regarding wage progression, compared to others in a similar situation who have gone before.

Then fix the huge competitive economic disparity between franchises.

The current system was fairly negotiated and is based on the premise that teams could limit player costs prior to players earning free agency. If that system is breached, and the Skubal case is an attempt to drastically raise the bar for future arbitration cases, then the system is broken.

I think if you look at his injury history, his shooting declined in correlation with trying to play through the injuries, back issues this year, shoulder issues, including surgery, previously. Hopefully the Pistons are up to speed on recovery prognosis.

I have no faith in Javy offensively.

Some think 32 is between 30 and 40.

I think he's been plagued by some nagging injuries, if/when healthy I believe he'll be fine.

They didn't "low ball" him, Arbitration isn't intended to reflect what a players value would be in free agency.

Don't worry, pitching is not stable.

He does have great hair.

The broadcast issues are those that can and need to be solved by the owners, not at the table. The owners know they're not getting a cap and aren't going to die on that hill.
