Tarik Skubal recently hit the free agent market, and it is clear that the Los Angeles Dodgers are going to work hard to try to re-sign him.
Yet, with Skubal being the best pitcher in baseball, there is no question that he is going to generate a ton of interest as a free agent. Now, with the offseason getting started, the Dodgers are being predicted to lose the two-time Cy Young Award winner to a shocking American League team.

It would be jaw-dropping if the Angels ended up winning the Skubal sweepstakes. The Angels have not made the playoffs since the 2014 season and had a 62-100 record this season.

It would certainly sting for the Dodgers to lose Skubal to the Angels, especially given their close proximity. Yet, with Skubal now on the free agent market, the possibility should not be ruled out.
Nevertheless, it is going to be very fascinating to see where Skubal ends up this offseason. He is undoubtedly this year's top free agent by a significant margin.
