"The New York Mets will inquire about Tarik Skubal if the Detroit Tigers float him on the trade market this winter. That is common sense. The 28-year-old southpaw is currently the best pitcher in baseball and is on the verge of winning his second straight American League Cy Young Award. He went 13-6 with a 2.21 ERA, a 0.891 WHIP, and 241 strikeouts in 195.1 innings pitched."
"Under former Tigers owner, the late Mike Ilitch, Skubal would be locked up for the foreseeable future, just as he did with Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera. But his son, Christopher, is running the show now, and there is trouble on the horizon kind of like another father-son ownership inheritance that we have seen in the Bronx. Skubal will be a free agent following the 2026 season, and Ilitch has shown little urgency to extend his franchise cornerstone."
The New York Mets will inquire about Tarik Skubal if the Detroit Tigers make him available this winter. Skubal is a 28-year-old left-hander with 2025 numbers of 13-6, 2.21 ERA, 0.891 WHIP and 241 strikeouts in 195.1 innings. Since 2023 he is 38-13 with a 2.39 ERA and 571 strikeouts in 77 starts (467.2 innings). Skubal becomes a free agent after the 2026 season. Detroit reportedly offered a four-year extension under $100 million last winter, while Skubal's camp may seek around $400 million. Ownership and front office provided noncommittal responses about extensions or trades.
