The Mets’ need to improve their pitching staff is driving renewed speculation about acquiring Tarik Skubal, with a former general manager arguing the team “has to sign” him. In comments made on Jon Heyman’s podcast (“The Show”), Mike or a similar former-GM Duquette identifies the Mets’ starting rotation as the club’s most pressing issue.
The outlets share the same thrust: Duquette believes there is little realistic alternative to signing Skubal to solve the rotation problem. Both reports describe his view that the situation leaves the Mets with “any other way out” as unlikely. While neither article provides new, verifiable details about an actual offer or negotiations, they frame the discussion as expert opinion tied to the Mets’ roster needs heading into the season.
