Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal became a focal point at the MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, with reports suggesting a trade is likely due to his impending free agency. The two-time Cy Young winner has one year left of team control, and the Tigers face decisions on whether to trade him or retain him for a potential 2026 contention push. While some insiders predict a deal with teams like the Dodgers or Mets, others believe no team will meet Detroit's high asking price.
New York Mets owner Steve Cohen acknowledged fans' disappointment over Pete Alonso's five-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles and closer Edwin Díaz's departure, as reported in initial coverage of the slugger's Winter Meetings move.

The Colorado Rockies led off by taking reliever RJ Petit from the Detroit Tigers, while the Chicago White Sox made two picks. Only one position player, catcher Daniel Susac, was chosen before being traded to the San Francisco Giants.
