Mets to meet with Tarik Skubal
The Mets will meet with 29-year-old left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal next week, per a report from Anthony DiComo that confirmed earlier reporting by Jon Heyman. Skubal is undoubtedly the best pitcher and player on the free agent market this offseason.
Over the course of his major league career, Skubal has a 3.02 ERA and a 3.03 FIP in 925.1 innings of work. He’s been significantly better than his career numbers in recent seasons, though, as he has a 2.42 ERA and a 2.48 FIP since the beginning of the 2024 season. He spent the entirety of his major league career in Detroit before the Tigers traded him to the Dodgers at the trade deadline this summer.
