Four Major League Baseball franchises have emerged as primary suitors for free-agent pitcher Tarik Skubal, according to reporting by Russell Dorsey. The Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, San Diego Padres, and Toronto Blue Jays are all pursuing the left-hander, who is represented by agent Scott Boras.
"It's very clear that it's a dominant and strong Sku-bull market," Boras said, offering one of his signature free-agency puns while describing the demand for his client.
The market for Skubal, regarded as the top starting pitcher available, continues to develop as teams evaluate their rotation needs for the upcoming season.
