Dodgers' Tarik Skubal receives $360 million contract prediction that's very realistic
This Skubal contract prediction is very high, but also very realistic.
The Los Angeles Dodgers recently lost in the NLCS to the Milwaukee Brewers, ending their hopes of a three-peat. This loss, however, sets the stage for starting pitcher Tarik Skubal to enter the free-agent market. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter predicts that Skubal will sign a massive $360 million contract over nine years in free agency.
This prediction seems very realistic, as it would surpass the $324 million, nine-year deal that Gerrit Cole signed with the Yankees at the same age. An average annual value (AAV) of $40 million would break the record for a pitcher's contract in MLB history. Despite this seemingly enormous contract, Skubal's proven worth and impressive performance make it a very possible outcome.
