00:08york bets for the straight out flushing podcast here on the new york post sports youtube channel
00:12we're going to deep dive the latest regarding the new york mets and their pursuit of one terek
00:16skuble and how currently speaking the new york mets are appearing to be the favorites to land
00:22the coveted southpaw for the 2027 season and beyond so why exactly is that and what reporting
00:27has dropped over the past couple days have further led us in that direction at the time i was talking
00:32right now is what we're going to find ourselves getting into along with ultimately why the new
00:36york match should do everything it takes to land the back-to-back scion award winner so let us know
00:41your thoughts in the comments down below everybody make sure to rate review wherever you get your
00:45podcast here for straight out flushing and make sure to subscribe here to the new york post sports
00:49youtube channel for all things new york metropolitans now to get right into today's discussion let's first
00:54break down the obvious turk skuble is one of them not the best starter in major league baseball
00:58at the young age of 29 the southpaw finished yet another dominant year this time between the detroit
01:04tigers and the la daughters a team that he was thinking he was going to go on and win a
01:08championship
01:08with instead is swept by the milwaukee brewers and now is facing a really really interesting offseason
01:15with the inevitable lockout likely to happen around december 1st so for skuble in just under 160
01:21the endings this year still right around a 10 and a half k per nine so one and a half
01:25walks per nine
01:25a sub three era and sub three expected era over five war season per fan graphs making three consecutive
01:32years for the dominant southpaw of having five wins or more of total value as a pitcher we saw in
01:38the
01:392024 2025 season 190 plus innings in each of those two years for the tigers in which he posted right
01:45around 11k per nine to right around a one one and a half walks per nine one of the best
01:49k to walk
01:50ratios you see in the game back-to-back years with over 200 strikeouts and back-to-back years
01:54with over six war of total value as a pitcher okay turk skuble is understandably so as a scott boris
02:01client seeking 400 million dollars on a long-term contract which seems absolutely asinine but with
02:07how inflated the markets are nowadays and how lopsided it is with teams like the daughters the
02:12mets and select others versus the rest of the pack knowing this structure is the way that is there
02:17are going to be teams like the mets in particular looking to take advantage of it knowing that an
02:21off season from now once the 2027 year concludes when looking at playing for these teams and regular
02:27season and playoffs the new cba will kick in which means that payout structures and the way that teams
02:33ultimately pursue players could be vastly different time will tell on that front but given that uncertainty
02:38and given that terrick is leaps and bounds the best starter available in this year's for agent class
02:43and what's an unbelievably weak class it is saying the stage for teams like the new york mets in
02:47particular to go at him and give their best efforts in landing him so what is there that you need
02:52to
02:52know about terrick skuble besides the fact that he casually dots 100 on the gun as someone that has
02:58moxie on the mound that everyone wants from their true race well it's also a terror can bring beyond just
03:04the on-field product it's off the field we think about the exclusive interview with our friend here at
03:10the post mike puma reporting with the dominant young zach thornton who posted a 3.4 year rain 80
03:16or so winnings and his rookie year for the mets this year zach over the past week stated to mike
03:20here at the post that yes i would love terrick skuble you know no mcclain talked with terrick back when
03:25they were teammates on team usa's world baseball classic team back in march this year about the
03:30possibility of you know playing together and naturally thornton would love to pick the brain of
03:35one of the best starters in baseball especially a southpaw and which there aren't nearly as many
03:39in today's game let alone that dominate to the extent that either zach thornton did in his rookie
03:43year or the way that terrick skuble has has really separated himself from the rest of the pack for the
03:48most part right so we see mets players the young mets players are expected to be in this rotation for
03:54years to come fully advocating for the terrick skuble pursuit juan soto has been on record here with
03:59the post over the past couple weeks also stating that he would love the mets to do everything in their
04:04power this offseason spend spend spend basically is what juan has said in regards to steve cohen and
04:09what the mets should do no stone should go unturned and the mets should absolutely be putting their best
04:13efforts in and for a david stern who said in his end of season presser this year that the mets
04:18will
04:18be looking to add starting pitching frontline starting pitching in particular it is again paving the way
04:23for change over the past couple days well the following reports have dropped press and wise well
04:29we have heard through chelsea james that the expectations that the new york mets will match
04:33any offer given to terrick skuble and that they will essentially according to industry belief
04:38do whatever it takes to land the coveted southpaw now there's one thing we know about steve cohen
04:44when he wants something it's definitely not for lack of effort in trying to land that player
04:48whether it's juan soto in which there was wide widespread belief in connection from before soto
04:53became a free agent to when he was a free agent throughout every single day and week process until
04:58he signed with the mets to obviously other player pursuits that we saw over the years
05:02and particularly think about the last time the mets were in a position to acquire a starter
05:06with an unofficial deadline on december 1st because of the upcoming lockout and with a daughter's team
05:11according to alton gonzalez who is fantastic reporting through espn for the daughters if i'm not
05:16mistaking he did state there more so in suggestion than certain fact but did state how there's also a
05:22great belief that the daughters are not going to be wanting to throw the big dollars at terrick
05:26prior to the december 1st deadline when the lockout will then kick in because of the uncertainty with
05:33the next cba and how that could impact their payroll for years to come there is many out there that
05:38believe that terrick school was a one and done during his time with the daughters eerily similar
05:42to max scherzer being a one and done for only half a season after being dealt from the nationals
05:46to the daughters all those years ago we saw max then hit the phrasian market and sign with the team
05:51out of the new york mets before that december 1st deadline fast forward four years later the
05:56mets are positioned to do that yet again with a rental that was acquired by the la dodgers this
06:01time in terrick school and yes we are well aware that david stearns doesn't usually have the appetite
06:06to want to give long-term contracts as starters but terrick is an is an exception steve cohen will be
06:11the first to tell you how talented terrick is obviously this is a guy that would do wonders for this
06:15met's rotation and if you can go out and land a player that gives you a minimum five war for
06:20your
06:20rotation next year you don't even think twice about it as long as the expenditures that come
06:24along with acquiring terrick school do not prohibit the mets from making proper moves elsewhere for the
06:29organization there's no reason for them not to do everything in their power to land said player
06:33so the combination the dodgers having a level of likely reluctance to do what it takes to land
06:38to bring him back and the mets knowing that terrick school does not have a qualifying offer attached to
06:43him as in the prime of his career and if there's anything that we can learn from how the yankees
06:47have
06:47operated while yes they have still have yet to get over that hump with the carl stradon's the max
06:54freeds and the garrett coals of the world there's obviously a lot of benefit when giving these long-term
06:58contracts as starters are deserving of it carlos isn't in the same degree of consistent pedigree and
07:03dominance as max freed and garrett cole but nonetheless you know you have to pay to land these top towns
07:10and in order to land juan soto the mets had to give him a 15-year contract north of 800
07:14million
07:14dollars in total value right for terrick school who is the juan soto of starters in this year's
07:20market pulling a nice little scott boris wordplay because that's exactly what i would expect him
07:24to say in this year's uh you know presser when talking about school and his availability
07:30terrick's gonna be getting anywhere from likely 50 to 60 mil aev okay and that's not overly surprising
07:37and it's pretty deserving for a guy who's the one back-to-back cyans it might not be deserving on
07:42the
07:42grand scheme of things when looking at how absurd these payouts are for players but given the status
07:46of the market and how lopsided is how top heavy it is the new york mets aren't going to have
07:51endless
07:51teams to bid against there will be a select few the diners will be in there but there's one team
07:56that i
07:56would argue to keep an eye on for for sure it's the la angels the angels have a new ownership
08:01group
08:02the same ownership group that owns arsenal out of the premier league the colorado avalanche as well as
08:08the denver nuggets and there is one more team in that group that i'm blanking on the moment but i
08:12know it's a prominent one from a different sport the point that i'm trying to make here is that the
08:17angels are now finally positioned with an absurdly wealthy owner up there is the most wealthy in the
08:22game along with steve cohen along with the blue jays and others and is ready to really make the angels
08:28a competitor as soon as next year terrick scoble has been on record talking about how the angels are
08:34going to become a destination where people are going to want to go to this was around the time that
08:37scoble was at the deadline this year um you know it was either right before after he got traded the
08:42daughters i want to say it was before but nonetheless though you're going to see a team like the angels
08:46swoop in now and get ready to spend big dollars you're going to see some other teams also try to
08:50take advantage of the market with a structure likely to change a year from now and why to use it
08:54to their
08:54advantage could a team like the mets and others really maximize the essential loophole if you will
08:59with deferred payments and utilizing this structure in a way that they may not be able to
09:05account a year from now to land someone like scoble that very well can become a reality what
09:10also can be a reality here is that the mets can do everything in their power to land school and
09:15he
09:15still won't land here and it could simply have to do with the fact that he doesn't want to be
09:18in
09:18new york met maybe he doesn't want to come to the east coast maybe he doesn't want to handle this
09:22market the media pressure the fanfare and everything else in between that's a very real possibility
09:26so if scoble does not land with the new york mets everybody something that we're going to be following
09:30very close attention to over the next number of weeks until he makes his inevitable decision
09:35either before the lockout which obviously scott boris is going to push heavily to do to get a
09:39payout while the current cba is still happening and also wanting to take advantage of maybe a team like
09:45the new york mets that i really have nothing to lose to go all in on someone like him but
09:49separate
09:50from that it's also looking at exactly over the next number of weeks how this plays out and if this
09:56is something where the new york mets did they do enough of to try to land it's not really going
10:01to be a conversation in that regard as much barring changes as i firmly believe it'll be
10:05if they put the effort in it won't be for lack thereof and if they don't land him it'll be
10:10probably
10:10like a yamamoto situation where you give him the absolute bag and he just takes that and gets matched
10:15elsewhere for a team they actually want to go to even the mets give an absurd dollar amount that
10:20separates themselves from the rest of the pack that still might not be enough because we don't exactly
10:24know for certain what scoobles incentive is here is it to just get solely the biggest contract
10:30imaginable or is it getting the biggest contract and what's most comfortable comfortable for him
10:34and his family long term will that comfortability be with the new york mets i hope so because i love
10:39the idea of him mowing down batters as a dominant south i've never witnessed a southpaw of scoobles
10:43caliber ever in this mets rotation as a mets fan i mean johan santan is the last true dominant lefty
10:48that comes to mind and he wasn't known for dotting corners 100 he just had one of the best if
10:51not the
10:52best change in the game for someone like scooble quite the contrast from the john nieces the steven
10:56matts is the david pearsons of the world and while zach thornton is lurk looking to work on his
11:01velocity this offseason as he said it himself is a goal for him what's also true is that in order
11:06for
11:07thornton to build on that velocity a guy like terek scooble could really help in that regard in
11:11sharing his two cents his techniques and ultimately to maximize his size his frame to his advantage but
11:17everybody let's know your thoughts in the comments down below how do you feel about the latest
11:21regarding the terek scooble sweepstakes and ultimately why the new york mets at the time of
11:24us talking right now unless he does simply not want to be a new york met and do not want
11:29to go to new
11:30york uh the mets are a favorite if not the favorite to land him and it's gonna be fascinating to
11:34see how
11:35these sweepstakes unfold over the next number of weeks in which we'll be right here breaking down
11:39every step of the way so until we get to our next terek scooble discussion and more on the new
11:44york
11:44mats this offseason this is your guy tyler ward signing out see you guys next time
