What happened: The Toronto Blue Jays are scheduled to meet with Tarik Skubal, though the club sits behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets in the pursuit, according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. The upcoming session comes after the Blue Jays emerged as a fourth suitor for the left-hander.

Why it matters: Both the Dodgers and Mets have prioritized top-of-the-rotation pitching this winter, complicating Toronto's bid to land the market's marquee arm. Contract projections for Skubal reach up to $400 million as major-market contenders position themselves for long-term negotiations.

What to watch: Toronto will hold its formal meeting with Skubal while the Dodgers and Mets continue shaping their offers.
