The 40-year-old pitcher's stellar MLB career includes three Cy Young Awards while playing for the Astros last year, helping them win the World Series. Verlander has had an up-and-down season while playing for the New York Mets this year. He has a 6-5 record, a 3.15 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostVerlander, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, improved in his last few starts after having a challenging start to the year. As a member of the Houston Astros, Verlander had arguably the best season of his career, going 18-4 with a stunning 1.75 ERA and 185 strikeouts in 2022. Along with Max Scherzer, Mark Canha, and David Robertson, Verlander is the another notable player to be sold by the Mets. The following trade pieces to fall before the deadline may include Tommy Pham and Carlos Carrasco. The star pitcher will now have the opportunity to compete with the support of a more potent lineup. This will definitely improve Verlander's win-loss record, and increase his old team's chances of winning the World Series as well.
