The Mets are considering whether to pursue a trade for Tigers ace Tarik Skubal now or wait until he becomes a free agent next offseason, as reported by Jon Heyman. The Tigers are open to discussions, with president Scott Harris stating that no player is untouchable, while the asking price for Skubal is expected to be high. The Mets could offer prospects like Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat, or Jett Williams, but view Nolan McLean as off-limits. Other potential suitors include the Dodgers, who have excess starting pitching and a strong farm system.
