Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley predicts the Dodgers will sign free-agent Tarik Skubal to a 10-year deal this offseason, after acquiring him from Detroit at this year's trade deadline. The Mets and Yankees are also expected to pursue the left-hander.
Skubal won the AL Cy Young Award in 2024 and 2025 and will be 30 at the start of the 2027 season. The article says a 10-year contract could be record-breaking but would carry risk because Skubal had elbow surgery midseason; it says the Dodgers have the financial means and willingness to take that risk.
