5/16/24 Houston Astros Ace 'Probably Would Like' To Play for Los Angeles Dodgers. The rumors around Justin Verlander continue to heat up as the Houston Astros could be in a position to move the veteran at the trade deadline. While they've largely struggled for much of the season, the Astros are only 5.5 games out of first place in the American League West. The 41-year-old has a no-trade clause, however, allowing him to essentially pick the next team he plays for. According to Jon Heyman on "B/R Walk-Off," Verlander "probably would like to" play for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

5/16/24 3 early-season trades Mets must make. The 2024 New York Mets have been a powder keg from the first pitch on Opening Day. After selling at the Trade Deadline in 2023, it has been a hot topic in Queens ever since as to whether the Mets would be playoff contenders or sellers in 2024, since selling, even when fully acknowledged as necessary by owner Steve Cohen himself, seems to go against the ethos of being one of the sport's highest-payroll franchises. Plus, the Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer trades were always about setting New York up for 2025, not sooner.

5/14/24 Astros' Justin Verlander calls out analytics for starting pitcher 'epidemic'. Superstar pitcher Justin Verlander has seen plenty of changes throughout his 21 years in the MLB. The 41-year-old has never been too shy to speak his mind, and he's now denouncing the usage of analytics in baseball shortly after tossing yet another excellent outing for the Houston Astros. With starting pitchers throwing less and less innings as time passes, Verlander is concerned about the direction that the game is going in, via Ken Rosenthal and Jason Stark of The Athletic. “Right now, it's an epidemic,” Verlander said.

5/13/24 Astros look to begin long-awaited rebound vs. A's. Even with their victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, the Houston Astros remain 10 games under .500 and desperately need a long string of victories to build something resembling significant momentum. To that end, the Astros should view the bounce-back performance delivered by veteran right-hander Justin Verlander on Sunday as a microcosm of their greater overall hopes. Verlander twirled seven shutout innings in a 9-3 victory over the Tigers in Detroit that enabled the Astros to complete a six-game road trip at 3-3.

5/10/24 Why Justin Verlander thinks Astros won't suffer same fate as Mets did last season. The Yankees enter Friday in a tight race with the Orioles in the battle for the top spot in the AL East, while their most recent fiercest rivals, the Astros, are in the basement of the AL West. But Justin Verlander — who saw the Mets' disappointment firsthand last season, when the team with giant expectations and an even bigger payroll fell far short of expectations and traded away its stars like Verlander and Max Scherzer — said he doesn't expect the same fate in Houston. “You can look at the track record with the same group of guys here,'' Verlander said of the Astros' run of success, which includes trips to the ALCS every year since 2017. “The Mets didn't have that track record. They were

5/01/24 Could Houston Astros Sell Off Ace in Desperation?. Could Houston Astros Sell Off Ace in Desperation? The Houston Astros top arm could be moved in a deal similar to the proposed one with the Chicago Cubs. Author: Jon Conahan May 01, 2024 In this story: Houston Astros MLB Justin Verlander Chicago Cubs The brutal start to the season from the Houston Astros looks like it could be flipping as the team has now won three straight games. It was an interesting first month of the season for the Astros, an organization that's dominated baseball for much of the past decade. For once, they were the ones being beaten, something that wasn't typical. This three-game stretch doesn't solve everything, but it's a step in the right direction. But if things don't

4/29/24 Chicago Cubs Rumors: Justin Verlander trade makes too much sense. Last week, when the Chicago Cubs swept the Houston Astros, they may very well have forced them into the sellers' market when the trade deadline comes around. Jed Hoyer is on record as having regrets about not claiming Justin Verlander on waivers in 2017 and trying to work out a trade. The Astros would, of course, go on to trade for Verlander that same season and win the World Series a few months later. Jed Hoyer always gets his guy, even if it comes years after the time in which he originally wanted that guy, just ask Julio Teheran.
