Hearing that the Padres are already making a push for Skubal is not surprising in the slightest. The Padres' starting rotation could use a real boost, and signing baseball's best pitcher, Skubal, would undoubtedly provide them with just that.
The Padres are also in their contention window, so it would make all the sense in the world for them to sign a superstar pitcher like Skubal. He would help make them a more legitimate threat in the NL West, which would not be ideal for the Dodgers.
In 26 games this season split between the Detroit Tigers and Dodgers, the two-time Cy Young Award winner posted a 12-7 record, a 2.72 ERA, and 186 strikeouts.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the Padres' interest in Skubal leads to them landing him from here. It would undoubtedly be a nightmare scenario for the Dodgers if San Diego won the sweepstakes.
