Tarik Skubal discusses former Detroit Tigers plane travel with Max Muncy
Summary

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal recently disclosed details regarding team travel during his tenure with the Detroit Tigers. In a conversation with teammate Max Muncy on the show Foul Territory, Skubal confirmed that the previous team plane used by the Detroit organization lacked the range for direct cross-country flights, requiring refueling stops. This revelation contrasts with the travel arrangements provided by his current team. The Los Angeles Dodgers utilize two separate planes for road trips to provide additional comfort and recovery time for players and staff. The Tigers have since acquired a new aircraft capable of long-distance travel. Skubal, a reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, moved to the Los Angeles Dodgers via a trade deadline acquisition earlier this season. He has recorded a 2.93 ERA across seven starts for his new club as they pursue another World Series title.
