According to recent reports, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers are considered the leading suitors for free-agent pitcher Tarik Skubal. The left-hander, who has established himself as one of the American League's top starters, is expected to command significant interest on the open market. Both clubs have the financial resources and roster needs to make a competitive offer for the 27-year-old ace.
Skubal's combination of strikeout ability and innings durability makes him a prized asset for any rotation. While other teams may enter the bidding, early indications point to a two-team race between the Mets and Dodgers for his services.
