Tarik Skubal Set to Sign with Dodgers Before Lockout

Tarik Skubal, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is expected to sign a contract before the Dec. 1 lockout. ESPN's Jeff Passan noted that Skubal is 'far and away the best player in this class.' The Dodgers and New York Mets are top contenders, while the Cubs are unsure about their financial competitiveness. If the Dodgers meet his demands, Skubal might just want to stay in L.A.
