Tarik Skubal is having fun as trade rumors swirl around him.
Following Eminem and Jack White’s Thanksgiving halftime show during Thursday’s Lions-Packers game, the Tigers aces went to X in what could be quite a revealing post.
“Goosebumps…@Eminem @jackwhite Are you available on April 3?” he wrote, along with a tiger emoji.
The 29-year-old’s offseason has been filled with trade speculation, which he previously admitted was “hard” to ignore on social media.
However, it appears his focus is on the Tigers’ home opener on April 3, 2026 against the Cardinals.
The two-time All-Star has one year left on his contract before becoming a free agent.
During a “Foul Territory” performance on November 20, Skubal expressed his desire to remain in Detroitt.
However, The Post’s Jon Heyman previously reported that there was a $250 million gap in the talks.
“In the end it doesn’t matter that much” Skubal said. “It’s not going to affect who I am on a day-to-day basis. It’s not going to affect the way I train or the way I throw and prepare to get my body ready for another season.
“It’s all out of my control. … It’s not like I want to be traded, so it’s kind of like, why am I even in these conversations?”
Should Detroit trade Skubal, the Mets, who are in need of starters next season, have emerged as a destination option for the left-hander.
The back-to-back AL Cy Young award winner had an American League-best 2.21 ERA with 241 strikeouts in 31 starts last season.
