This Has MAJOR Implications For The Mets...

Josh Burn dives into the report that the Mets are meeting free agent Tarik Skubal next week at the GM Meetings, and David Stearns needs an ace after a 74-88 season. Here is what that meeting means for New York's pitching. Stearns has never given a pitcher a $100 million contract. His biggest was Sean Manaea's 3-year, $75 million deal, and the Mets lost Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the Dodgers after offering 12 years and $325 million. Skubal, the two-time Cy Young winner, could cost $300 million to $400 million, and the labor deal runs out December 1. Stearns said after the season that the Mets need to add to the rotation. Nolan McLean and Christian Scott are the only rotation locks, and Carson Benge, Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor's contract through 2031 shape the window. If Skubal goes elsewhere, the Mets' fallbacks include Michael King, Clay Holmes, Drew Rasmussen and Reid Detmers, plus first base after Pete Alonso and second base with Marcus Semien. --- Mets Digest is a YouTube Channel that covers all the latest news, trades, reports, and rumors regarding the New York Mets.
