We have officially arrived at the last news post before Christmas, and one of the last posts of 2025. Things were a little frenzied with moves last week, but as we approach the holidays, things usually slow down a little, and then the hot stove will heat up again at the start of 2026.
We’ve still got some news tidbits to start your week with, as Tarik Skubal has gone on a one-man tour of visiting all Detroit and Michigan sports teams (perhaps trying to send a message of how much he’d like to stay
in Detroit? Maybe? A gal can hope…)
Outside of Tigers news, there’s been a big update on FanDuel sports broadcasting, Alex Bregman might be going to another team with a color in their name, and Shohei Ohtani sets another record, this time for autographed baseball card sales.
So let’s get right into it.
