Dodgers pursue Tarik Skubal as he enters free agency

The Los Angeles Dodgers are actively pursuing pitcher Tarik Skubal, who has entered free agency after a successful tenure since joining the team from the Detroit Tigers. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, posted a 2.72 ERA across the season. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes confirmed that the team has made contact with Skubal's representatives and plans to meet with him soon. Skubal's performance in Los Angeles included a 2.61 ERA over 10 starts this past season. The Dodgers face competition from other teams, including the New York Mets, who are reportedly also interested in signing the left-hander, expected to command a high-value contract in the range of $300 million to $400 million.
