## Key points

- The Dodgers are expected to pursue Tarik Skubal.
- They may also seek younger star players through trades.
- An ageing lineup is shaping the club’s longer-term plans.

## Summary

The Dodgers are expected to pursue two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal this offseason, but they may also target other star players to strengthen their longer-term prospects. Although they remain well placed to contend in 2027, the club has an ageing lineup and wants to add younger, athletic talent who could lead its next generation.

All nine starting position players are under contract for next season, while Skubal is the rotation’s only notable potential departure. The article says the Dodgers and Mets are viewed as co-favourites to sign the soon-to-be 30-year-old pitcher, whose contract could exceed $400 million, though Los Angeles may prefer a shorter deal. Potential trade targets mentioned include Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz, Houston’s Jeremy Peña and Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson.
