""As far as Tarik Skubal goes, the Yankees have been a team that have been inquiring and trying to get [him]. My understanding from the Yankees and the Mets is [the asking price] was too high for them," McKain said on Dodgers Dougout Live. "The Yankees haven't added anyone yet. The Yankees don't want to give up their top prospects and they don't want to give up too much on their end."
""From my understanding, the Yankees, the Mets and one other team I've checked in on, they don't see how it's going to happen based on what they gauge is the asking price. I think this is great news for the Dodgers. If there was another team out there that was as all-in for the World Series as the Dodgers are, I think we would've seen him get traded this offseason.""
The Yankees and Mets inquired about Tarik Skubal but judged Detroit's asking price too high to pursue a trade. Both New York clubs and at least one other team believe the current asking price makes a trade unlikely. That hesitation increases the Los Angeles Dodgers' opportunity to acquire Skubal, since other contenders appear unwilling to meet Detroit's demands. Reports note that Detroit maintains a significant asking price and the precise trade package remains unclear. Skubal is likely to remain with the Tigers into the 2026 season unless Detroit explicitly commits to retaining him through that year.
