What is Tarik Skubal's net worth in 2025? A look at his MLB contract, earnings, and more

Tarik Skubal, the ace of the Detroit Tigers, revolutionized the landscape of Major League Baseball in no time, ending the 2024 campaign with the American League Cy Young Award, along with the pitching Triple Crown. His path to financial well-being closely resembles his performance on the field, as his net worth continues to rise with 2025 income stream earnings and endorsement deals.
Contract details and career earnings of Tarik Skubal
The Tigers and Skubal reached an agreement on a one-year, $10.15 million contract in January 2025 to avoid arbitration, which was quite the jump from his 2024 salary of $2.65 million. This contract is an indication of how well he pitched last year, when he led the American League in wins (18), ERA (2.39), and strikeouts (228).
Tarik Skubal has earned just over $27.2 million in his career, according to Spotrac. Talks about a multi-year deal have been mentioned, but media reports indicate Skubal’s agent, Scott Boras, dismissed the earliest offers as “not competitive,” and believes that he deserves more than this.
Endorsements and future prospects
In addition to his salary from Major League Baseball, Skubal’s marketing potential has helped him secure endorsement deals, including one with Nike. He put ink to paper on a Nike Shadown Elite J glove of his very own during the beginning of the 2025 campaign, becoming part of an exclusivity club of only a handful of other pitchers to have one. Although the financial terms are not disclosed, such collaborations do add to his net worth.
Fortunately for Skubal, his persisting excellence will likely result in a record-setting deal when he hits the open market. With age on his side, experts are predicting a deal in the neighborhood of $400 million, which would be a record for MLB hurlers.

At last, we can say that Tarik Skubal’s net worth in 2025 is bolstered by a number of factors, which in fact is escalating MLB salaries, strategic endorsements, and the prospect of a monumental future contract. Further, we can conclude that the financial ascent of Skubal is proof that hard work can make an athlete reach great heights.

SUFFOLK, Va. — Michaela Rose has wrapped up a remarkable track career at Louisiana State University, and she did it by rewriting the record books.
The Suffolk, Virginia native made her name in the women’s 800 meters, and this past season, she turned in performances that won’t soon be forgotten. Rose broke the elusive 1:59 barrier not once, not twice—but five times during her college career. No other collegiate runner has ever accomplished that feat.
In May, Rose made headlines by setting the collegiate record with a time of 1:58.12. Then, at last month’s NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, she shattered a 35-year-old meet record in the semifinals with a 1:58.95 finish.
“As soon as they said it, I said ‘Oh wow!’,” she said. “I was like oh my gosh, It was kind of crazy. It was really fun to have it for the moment that I did.”
Though her meet record was ultimately bested by Stanford’s Roisin Willis in the final, Rose left with her head held high and a long list of accolades to show for it.
Rose, who finished fourth in the Olympic Trials last year, has aspirations of the next summer games from Los Angeles, California in 2028.
“I’d have more family who would be able to make it,” the senior said. “That’s the dream to just prepare myself…get very fit. Get very ready to just give my best there.”

Ustaszewski in Singapore with Team USA for World Championships

LA JOLLA, Calif. — UC San Diego head men’s water polo coach Matt Ustaszewski (UC San Diego ’04) is again serving as an assistant coach with Team USA as the World Aquatics World Championships kick off this week in Singapore, Singapore.
The 2025 event is set for July 11 through July 24.
This is Ustaszewski’s fifth stint as a member of the Team USA staff for the World Championships (2024, 2023, 2022, 2019). He was also on the bench when the United States won a Bronze Medal at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
“It is an absolute honor to represent Team USA on the coaching staff at the upcoming World Championships,” said Ustaszewski. “The opportunity to collaborate with and learn from the world’s best water polo coaches and players is a true privilege. This is the highest form of professional development possible, with the ability to actively pursue learning and gain first-hand experience, which are representative of the goals of our university, the athletic department, and the men’s water polo program at UC San Diego.”
The United States opens group play Friday against Canada. The team will also face Brazil (July 13) and host Singapore (July 16) prior to the Crossover, Quarterfinal, Semifinal, and Final Rounds.
Live streaming of the World Championships will be available on Peacock (login required).
“I want to thank Head Coach Dejan Udovicic for his leadership and trust in me to continue this journey together,” said Ustaszewski. “I also would like to acknowledge Athletic Director Earl Edwards, Senior Associate Athletic Director Danielle Melman, and our coaching staff and scholar-athletes at UC San Diego for their unwavering support during my tenure with Team USA. Most importantly, I want to thank my wife Heather Ustaszewski (UC San Diego ’06) and my sons, Jordan and Ryan. They have been incredibly supportive of the opportunities that I have been able to experience with Team USA. We are going to Singapore to compete at the highest levels of our sport, and I do so with the intentions of making my family, UC San Diego, and Team USA proud.”
Team USA has had success this summer already, putting together a Silver Medal performance at the World Aquatics U20 World Championships in Croatia. It was the highest finish ever for a USA Men’s National Team in World Championship play at any age group. UC San Diego figured heavily in Zagreb as Landon Akerstrom, who will be a junior for the Tritons this fall, was a member of the squad.

Female cyclist refuses to take podium with trans winner

Veteran cyclist Julie Cutts Peterson told Fox News’ “America Reports” about why she refused to take the podium for the medal ceremony after losing to a trans competitor.
“At the finish line I was upset. I said ‘I did not want to race against a man,’” Peterson said, recalling her frustration at the event and the way the audience gasped at her comment. “In my mind I was like, ‘I can say that, I have freedom of speech.’ I was raised believing in the Bible where men are created by God and God created women from men, I was born and raised in America, where I learned my pronouns, and I took science classes that taught me about XX and XY and I believe that most Americans and people worldwide would support men not being in women’s categories.”
Peterson came in second place to transgender opponent, Kate “KJ” Phillips – born a biological male – who took the gold medal last Tuesday at the Lyons Masters National Championships in Wisconsin. She is one of multiple veteran female cyclists who are speaking out against USA Cycling after they claim the organization failed to disclose the participation of a transgender athlete in a recent race.
Peterson recalled the final sprint of the race where Debbie Milne was the only competitor ahead of her until “out of nowhere” came Phillips.
“I knew at that sprint that that was a man’s sprint,” she said, noting her extensive experience riding among both men and women.
Peterson went on to argue transgender ideology is not scientifically sound, declaring, “There is no amount of makeup, money, or marketing that can change that Y-chromosome, and that’s why we are taking a stand.”
The cyclist claimed further that the transgender competitor’s name was not even included on the registration list, “which means that we were not given the information that he would be racing in our category before the race started.”
“Apparently we’re hearing that from other athletes as well,” “America Reports” co-anchor Sandra Smith said, sharing a clip of Milne claiming that Phillips’ registration was completely hidden from competitors.
“Catherine Phillips, KJ’s name, was not on that list. And I checked it up all the way to the point of closure when we couldn’t register online anymore,” Milne said last Thursday on “Fox & Friends.” According to Milne, neither she nor Peterson believe the omission of Phillips’ name was accidental, referring to the incident as “deception.” She said Peterson later got confirmation Phillips had been registered since mid-June, long before the online list closed. The cyclist added that, had she known, she might have reconsidered spending hundreds of dollars and traveling over 400 miles to compete.
Smith also noted that Fox News Digital had reached out to USA Cycling, who responded by providing their transgender eligibility policy.
Smith relayed that as she understood it, the policy as it stands is, “Quite simply it’s just providing a written and signed declaration to the cycling technical director that their gender identity is female.”
Peterson agreed, claiming she has a photo of how the registration appeared June 19th at 4:48 P.M., arguing that USA Cycling and Bike Reg had plenty of time to show the transgender competitor’s name there but decided not to, an increasingly growing pattern.

Brian Campbell certainly has a flair for the dramatic.
Campbell, who was born in Newport Beach and grew up in Irvine, earned his second PGA Tour victory Sunday in a sudden-death playoff at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill.
Campbell, 32, won on the first playoff hole against Emiliano Grillo of Argentina after shooting 4-under-par 67 on Sunday for a tournament total of -18.
Both of Campbell’s victories on tour have come this season, as he also won the Mexico Open in February. That victory also went to a playoff, with Campbell making a birdie on the second hole to outlast Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa.
Campbell, who attended Mater Dei High School, said during his post-tournament press conference Sunday that finding himself in a playoff situation once again felt familiar, following his victory in Mexico. “[I’m] just so over the moon to be in that position, and to come back and finish it off,” he said. “A lot of nerves, that’s for sure, but I can’t believe we’re here. What a special event.”
The playoff hole Sunday was the par-four 18th, and he only needed a par to secure the win and the $1,512,000 first-place check.
Campbell is now ranked 28th in the PGA Tour FedExCup standings.
“After your first win, I’d say there was a lot of expectations that came about,” he said. “Unfortunately, I dealt with a lot of random sicknesses that hit me and pulled me out of a few tournaments I really wanted to play. I just really had to trust what I had been doing before, and now we’re here. It’s just wild.”
Campbell grew up playing at Mesa Verde Country Club in Costa Mesa where his parents, Don and Kim, were members.
He first played on the PGA Tour in 2017, but has spent much of his time since then on the Korn Ferry Tour, returning to the PGA Tour this season after regaining his card.
The John Deere Classic win had extra significance to him, as he attended college in the same state, at the University of Illinois.
“The awe of this tournament, it really is spectacular,” he said. “The finishing hole is one of the coolest finishing holes that we play out here. A lot can happen, birdies can be made, tournaments can be won. It’s just so fun to be here.”
Next up for Campell? The Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, scheduled for July 10 to 14.
“I think we’re headed to Scotland tonight,” Campbell said Sunday. “[I’ve] gotta celebrate in Scotland, I guess.”
