Minnesota already has a terrific rotation, but Skubal could take that group to another level in pursuit of another World Series title. What if the Minnesota Twins signed Tarik Skubal? Sure, small-market teams such as the Twins don't go after the biggest of big-name free agents, but this would be a move that would invigorate a franchise in need of a spark. Skubal is inherently familiar with a lot of the Twins' setup from his six-plus seasons with the Detroit Tigers. The Twins already have a decent rotation with right-handers Joe Ryan, Bailey Ober, Taj Bradley, Dean Kremer and Zebby Matthews, with left-hander Connor Prielipp also an option. Signing Skubal could also make it more palatable to Twins fans to trade away Joe Ryan, perhaps to fill an offensive weakness. That could also lure Ryan Jeffers to come back to the Twins, whether it is on the $23.15 million qualifying offer for 2027 or on a multiyear contract. Regardless, it would be a bold move for the Twins that would help ownership show its commitment to a loyal fan base that is starving for a perennial contender in an AL Central Division that is very winnable each season.
