The MLB offseason is officially here, and there is no question that Los Angeles Dodgers superstar free agent Tarik Skubal is the biggest name available on the market right now.
Skubal is expected to generate a lot of interest in the free agent market, and it is not difficult to understand why. This is because he is not only this year's top free agent but also the best pitcher in baseball. Thus, he is going to be on the wish lists of all teams that are looking for pitching help.
Now, with the offseason getting underway, Skubal is being linked to a new team in the American League.

According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Blue Jays are expected to have a meeting with Skubal next week.

"The big-market Blue Jays are a player in the sweepstakes for superstar free agent Tarik Skubal, and they are expected to join the Mets, Padres and Dodgers in meeting with the two-time Cy Young winner in California next week, sources tell The Post," Heyman wrote.
Hearing that the Blue Jays are making a push to sign Skubal is easy to comprehend. The Blue Jays just had a very disappointing 2026 season and should be on the hunt for more talent because of it. Thus, it would be massive if they landed this year's best free agent in Skubal.
The Blue Jays' starting rotation is also in need of some serious help. With that, it is entirely understandable that they are making a push for Skubal early on this offseason.
If the Blue Jays successfully signed Skubal, he would form a very strong one-two punch at the top of their starting rotation with star pitcher Dylan Cease. This would make Toronto a far more difficult team to face next season if it came to fruition.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the Blue Jays can win the Skubal sweepstakes and steal him from the Dodgers. Yet, the Dodgers are still in the mix, so the possibility of him staying put in Los Angeles cannot be ruled out.
