Tarik Skubal rumors are going to carry on until he has a contract beyond 2026. The Detroit Tigers have no urgency to trade him unless they have no desire to sign him to a long-term deal. An ace of his caliber is at the top of the offseason wish list for the New York Mets. Skubal’s perceived availability has made him a more highly-discussed topic this week than Shohei Ohtani homering 3 times in a game he started and struck out 10 batters in 6 shutout innings.
SNY’s John Harper put together a lengthy piece with information about what scouts and executives believe the Mets might have to pay up in order to acquire Skubal.
