Blue Jays Reportedly Join Tarik Skubal 'Sweepstakes' with Dodgers, Mets
Toronto has joined the Mets, Dodgers and Padres in bidding for two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, who posted a 2.21 ERA last season.
- On Wednesday, the Toronto Blue Jays emerged as a contender for superstar pitcher Tarik Skubal, joining the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres in pursuing the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
- Following a disappointing 2026 season, the Blue Jays are prioritizing talent acquisition to strengthen their starting rotation, making an aggressive early push for top free-agent pitching help.
- New York Post reporter Jon Heyman confirmed the Blue Jays "are a player" for Skubal, with the team expected to meet the left-hander in California next week.
- Skubal remains the top free agent after posting a 2.72 ERA with 186 strikeouts over 158 2/3 innings last season while playing for both the Dodgers and the Detroit Tigers.
- As the MLB offseason begins, competition for the left-hander intensifies among major-market clubs; securing the pitcher would represent a significant move for Toronto aiming to rebound quickly.
