The Chicago Cubs are actively pursuing Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal, a move that could signal the franchise's willingness to make a significant investment in starting pitching. Skubal, 29, has been a key figure in the Dodgers' rotation, most recently taking the mound against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on September 25, 2026.
Reports indicate the Cubs' front office is evaluating how far they are prepared to go to acquire the left-hander, whose contract status and performance have made him a prime target for teams seeking rotation depth. The pursuit comes as Chicago looks to bolster its pitching staff ahead of the next season.
