Tarik Skubal is the biggest name on the MLB Free Agency market. Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, is a free agent after finishing the season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are expected to be the frontrunner for Skubal's services.

While the Dodgers are the frontrunner, there will be multiple teams vying for the services of the all-star pitcher. His agent, Scott Boras, believes teams are preparing to make their best offers for Skubal, per Barstool Baseball.

“In the deep waters of talent treasure, teams have no time to come up for air. Teams have filled their tanks and they're all clearly ready for the Skubal dive,” Boras said.

The New York Mets and Dodgers are predicted to be the top teams looking for Skubal. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres are also expected to be in play for Skubal. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, and Chicago Cubs are also possible suitors for Skubal. The contract could also be done quickly. The MLB CBS expires on December 1, which could push Skubal to sign before then.

Since making his MLB debut in 2020 with the Detroit Tigers, Skubal has been a two-time All-Star, two-time Cy Young winner, as well as a member of the All-MLB First Team twice and All-MLB Second Team once. Skubal led the AL in wins in 2024, won the Triple Crown in 2024, and was the MLB strikeout leader that year as well. He has spent his entire career with the Tigers until being traded to the Dodgers at the start of August.
