New York radio host Sal Licata said he expected Tarik Skubal to sign with the Mets, then explained in the same segment why the Los Angeles Angels could land the left-hander instead. He framed the choice around appetite for a demanding market rather than money alone.
Licata hosts The Sal Licata Show. Skubal, 29, is set to become a free agent once the World Series ends as the Dodgers were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. He went 5-2 with a 2.61 ERA in 10 starts after arriving from Detroit at the deadline.
Licata made the comments in the Monday episode of The Sal Licata Show.
