In case you forgot or don’t know… the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL West on Thursday afternoon, defeating the Reds 8-2.
LA celebrated in the Reds’ visiting clubhouse, giving the LA media access to all the players as they celebrated.
Reporters got a hold of ace starter Tarik Skubal, who shared an eyebrow-raising comment about the Los Angeles Dodgers’ future.

Tarik Skubal Gets Too Honest After Dodgers Clinching Moment
Per @SportsNetLA, here is a funny exchange between Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell:
Skubal: “It’s gonna be special. It’s gonna be the first of many.”
Snell: “Tell em it’s gonna be special because you’re playing this postseason with your boy.”
Skubal: “This is my best friend; he’s my little brother.”
What I want to focus on, and something that’s been noted in other reports, is Skubal using the phrase “it’s gonna be the first of many”.
Skubal, of course, is an impending free agent after the season, so is he saying this will be the first of many division crowns with LA?? Or just generally in his career?? Hmmmm….

Tarik Skubal Since Joining the Dodgers
There haven’t been any public talks about Tarik Skubal’s upcoming contract demands, but baseball pundits believe it could be in the range of $350-400 million when all said and done.
After being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tarik Skubal has been spectacular, per usual.
He’s made eight starts since joining LA, and Skubal has an ERA of 2.52 in 50 innings during that span with 57 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.040.
Adding Skubal makes the Dodgers a dominant threat in the MLB playoffs, and LA will surely be a tough out come October.
