New York Mets to meet with Tarik Skubal, MLB's biggest free agent
Mets will meet with two-time Cy Young winner expected to sign a record-setting deal.
Las Vegas – Among the few teams speculated to negotiate with Tarik Skubal, the reigning back-to-back Cy Young winner, the New York Mets are set to meet with the free agent ace next week, according to a source familiar with the matter on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The conversation remains confidential due to the lack of authorization to disclose details publicly.
Skubal, currently drafted by the Detroit Tigers, transferred to the Dodgers at the 2026 deadline to prevent his team from receiving a return before the winter free agency. He delivered a 2.61 ERA in 10 starts for Los Angeles during the regular season and made two starts in the playoffs. With his 30th birthday approaching in November, Skubal is anticipated to seal a deal before the potential MLB lockout commences on Dec. 1.
