Tarik Skubal Poised for Record MLB Contract

Tarik Skubal, a left-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is anticipated to become one of Major League Baseball's highest-paid players with a contract potentially exceeding $400 million.

According to MLB.com, Skubal is viewed as a strong candidate to achieve this milestone during the upcoming offseason. He is currently in the midst of his pitching prime and has garnered significant accolades, including being a two-time Cy Young Award winner and a two-time All-MLB First Team selection.

Skubal has started the season with a record of 1-2 and a 3.38 ERA over four games. His performance in October could enhance his prospects for a lucrative long-term deal, possibly in the range of 11 to 12 years, which could surpass the current record held by teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
