## Key points

- The Mets will meet Tarik Skubal next week.
- The two-time Cy Young winner is a top free-agent target.
- New York also needs help at first base and in the bullpen.

## Summary

The New York Mets have arranged a meeting with free-agent pitcher Tarik Skubal for next week, as they pursue a leading starter to strengthen their rotation. Skubal is regarded as one of the favourites to join the Mets, whose pitching needs and financial resources make them a strong potential destination.

Skubal won the American League Cy Young Award in both 2024 and 2025 and went 12–7 with a 2.72 ERA for the Tigers and Dodgers last season. He is one of only two pitchers to have thrown more than 590 innings since 2024, alongside Cristopher Sanchez, and is the standout name in a thin free-agent market. The Mets are also expected to consider additions at first base, possibly second base, and in the bullpen.
