Tarik Skubal, traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, is set to become a free agent following this year. With the Detroit Tigers not pursuing him, the Dodgers and New York Mets are expected to compete for his services. The Mets, currently last in the NL East, are motivated to make substantial offseason moves, while the Dodgers want to prevent Skubal from joining a rival team. His potential contract could include the highest average annual value for a pitcher in MLB history, surpassing Gerrit Cole's current record.
