Haffey\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>LAS VEGAS, NV\u2014Day One of the 2026 Major League Baseball General Manager Meetings is offically underway, and with it comes more clarity on the Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; offseason plans. <\/p>\n<p>Entering the winter, the Dodgers had few players hitting the open market; however, the one big fish also happens to be the consensus top free agent in this year&#8217;s class: two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. <\/p>\n<p>Skubal, 29, is set to receive a massive payday, and with it, the lefty plans to sign before the eventual league-wide lockout that could change the sport&#8217;s financial landscape. <\/p>\n<p>So, as expected, Skubal\u2019s market is expected to get rolling fast, with potential meetings with clubs at the GM Meetings in Las Vegas this week. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/11\/10\/sports\/mets-schedule-meeting-with-tarik-skubal-in-mlb-free-agency\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Skubal is already set to join the New York Mets<\/a> brass during the meetings, but Brandon Gomes has now revealed that the Dodgers will also join the fray. <\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers acquired Skubal ahead of the trade deadline in a blockbuster deal that sent three prospects to Detroit. In 10 regular-season starts with Los Angeles, he went 5-2 with a 2.61 ERA and 70 strikeouts across 62 innings.<\/p>\n<p>He also delivered in the postseason, recording a 2.45 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 11 innings in two starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; NOVEMBER 10: General Manager Brandon Gomes of the Los Angeles Dodgers speaks with the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":850943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2406],"tags":[5,39,1165,4332,4333,774,57,3224,4331,4],"class_list":["post-850942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-baseball","tag-dodgers","tag-la","tag-la-dodgers","tag-ladodgers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesdodgers","tag-mlb"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117598079167108673","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=850942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/850943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=850942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=850942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
