Mets Emerge as Top Fit as Teams Court Tigers Ace Tarik Skubal

Detroit has not discussed terms publicly despite reported offers for the two-time Cy Young winner.

Overview

  • With no deal in place, Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg declined to discuss trades or extensions even as reporting indicates multiple clubs have made offers.
  • Bleacher Report’s assessment, echoed by Newsweek and Yahoo Sports, identifies the Mets as the best fit, citing New York’s need for a rotation stopper and Skubal’s 2025 line of a 2.21 ERA with 241 strikeouts.
  • Empire Sports Media reports the Mets may have floated a massive proposal and suggests a package headlined by top prospect Jett Williams with pitcher Jonah Tong as a plausible framework.
  • Sportsnet’s David Singh predicts Atlanta will acquire Skubal in a midseason deal if the Braves are leading the National League by July.
  • Dodgers interest continues, with insiders saying Los Angeles has the assets and that Detroit’s price for a one-year rental could rival the Juan Soto trade haul.
