Although I think Paul Skenes would probably be everyone’s first (and the likely correct) answer to the question “Who’s the best pitcher in baseball right now?” Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal is at least in the conversation.

Of all their young players over the last half decade or so, the Washington Nationals have only extended one of them.

Although I do believe that the Cubs should have plenty of reasons (and more than enough payroll space) to be aggressive in free agency this offseason, their intentions on that front aren’t particularly clear. That’s due in part to Jed Hoyer’s history of free agent passivity, as well as the new CBA negotiations and expected lockout.
But there’s also the fact that the 2026 roster is already pretty full-up with potential starters:
C – Carson Kelly/Miguel Amaya 1B – Michael Busch 2B – Ni...

Freddy Peralta has been an outstanding pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers for the past eight seasons, giving the Chicago Cubs fits along the way. He has become something of an anchor for the Brewers rotation, pitching like an ace in 2025, and is just 29 years old.
So it’s high time for the Brewers to trade him.
From The Athletic :
“In this case, as the winter unfolds, the Brewers are expected to at least field offers for starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, according to people fami...
