When former Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, he didn’t just take his glove and gear with him. He also took the beloved espresso machine that had become a fixture in the Tigers’ clubhouse.
Why take it? According to Skubal, the decision came from his wife, Jessica. He joked that he wanted to leave the machine behind and buy a new one, but she reminded him just how expensive it was.
The Tigers may have lost one of baseball’s top pitchers at the trade deadline, but judging by the reactions from former teammates, the missing espresso machine might still sting a little.
