Mets expect to sign Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal this offseason

Summary

The New York Mets are predicted to sign two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in an effort to bolster their starting rotation ahead of the 2027 season. Following a disappointing 2026, the Mets are keen to improve their pitching after struggling with depth issues. Skubal, currently on a $32 million contract, brings valuable left-handed prowess and high strikeout ability. Reports suggest that while he enjoyed his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he may consider a move to the Mets if they can provide a significant offer. Acquiring Skubal could restore excitement to a Mets team seeking a turnaround.
