Josh Burn discusses a report from MLB insider Jon Heyman who says the New York Mets are the favorite to sign Tarik Skubal, and the Mets trade candidates may decide whether they can afford him.
The Cubs are reportedly out of the Skubal sweepstakes, which leaves the Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers, who traded for him in August. Jeff Passan has his price well over $300 million, with a decision expected before the December 1 lockout. Skubal finished this season with a 2.72 ERA and 186 strikeouts, and the Mets rotation, led by Nolan McLean with Kodai Senga's 7.34 ERA behind him, needs an ace.
The money is the problem: about $12 million of room under the 2027 luxury tax line, Steve Cohen against David Stearns on a long-term deal, and trade rumors around Kodai Senga, Marcus Semien, Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez before the November 20 non-tender deadline. If the Dodgers keep Skubal, SNY's Chelsea Janes believes the Mets will look to trades for starting pitching, including the Joe Ryan market.
