The New York Mets are reportedly considering a massive 10-year contract worth more than $400 million for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, according to a Sportsnaut report by Jason Burgos published November 10, 2026. The article suggests emerging data indicates such a long-term commitment would not carry excessive risk for the franchise.
Skubal, a left-handed starter who won the American League Cy Young Award in 2024, would represent a transformative addition to the Mets' rotation. The reported contract value would rank among the largest in Major League Baseball history for a pitcher.
Neither the Mets nor Skubal's representatives have publicly confirmed negotiations. The Tigers retain control over Skubal through the 2026 season before he reaches free agency.
