Tarik Skubal, a free agent and two-time AL Cy Young winner, could decline an offer from the New York Mets due to renewed interest from the Los Angeles Dodgers. New York radio host Sal Licata mentioned that while the Mets are expected to pursue Skubal aggressively, the situation differs from their previous signing of Juan Soto. Skubal finished the 2026 season with a 12-7 record, splitting time between the Dodgers and Tigers. Analysts speculate that the Dodgers could make a significant short-term offer, potentially modeled after a recent Kyle Tucker contract.
