One prediction market prices this story:

  • Los Angeles A — the market puts it at 2%, with $10 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Mar 2027. The outcome is Yes if Tarik Skubal signs with the Los Angeles A Pro Baseball team before March 25, 2027. The outcome is No if he does not join that specific team by that deadline. Readers often mistake the source of truth for any official announcement rather than the actual contract signing.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
