Tarik Skubal projected to sign record $352m MLB contract

Tarik Skubal is expected to sign a contract worth $352 million, which would set two all-time Major League Baseball records. The deal has attracted interest from the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. This projection highlights Skubal's rising profile in the sport.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, based in Los Angeles and competing in the National League West Division, recently lost 4-6 to the Milwaukee Brewers on 16 October. Their recent form includes four consecutive defeats before a win against the Atlanta Braves. The New York Mets, from Queens and members of the National League East Division, have a mixed recent record, including a 4-6 loss to the Washington Nationals.

The Mets have been active in transfers, acquiring Jack Anderson and Pierson Ohl from Minnesota and Colorado respectively on 2 November, and Philip Abner from San Francisco on 23 September. Both the Dodgers and Mets are likely to consider how this potential signing fits into their future plans as the MLB season progresses.
