Justin Verlander (40, New York Mets) has been linked to a trade.

MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, reported on Wednesday (Aug. 23) that “multiple teams are interested in trading Verlander. Will the Mets trade Verlander before the trade deadline?”

The Mets signed Verlander to a two-year, $86 million contract before the season.

However, Verlander struggled with a shoulder injury early in the season. After returning, he had a 4.50 ERA in nine games. However, in his last five starts (31 innings), he has rebounded with a 1.74 ERA. His batting average is also low at 0.180.바카라사이트

The revitalization of Verlander’s command has led to reports of interest from multiple teams, including the San Francisco Giants.

“There is a possibility of a trade for Verlander, but he has a no-trade clause,” MLB.com said.

In 14 appearances this year, Verlander is 4-5 with a 3.47 ERA. The Mets are 46-52 on the year, which puts their chances of making the postseason in jeopardy.
