Overview

• The Mets will inquire about Tarik Skubal if the Tigers make him available this winter, according to amNewYork.
• Owner Christopher Ilitch and baseball operations chief Scott Harris declined to commit to an extension, and a prior offer was reported under $100 million.
• Skubal delivered a 13-6 record with a 2.21 ERA and 241 strikeouts in 2025 and is viewed as a leading AL Cy Young candidate.
• Industry projections cited by reporters suggest Skubal could seek a contract near $400 million when he reaches free agency after 2026.
• Acquiring Skubal would likely require a prospect-heavy package for suitors such as the Mets, while the Yankees are also linked given their rotation needs.
