Staying or leaving, Justin Verlander's Houston story now adds a 2nd Cy Young Award as an Astro, and his 3rd in his career overall.
As Houston Astros fans ask each other whether their team can afford to bring back Justin Verlander, the question being thrown around on Wednesday is, "will he claim the Cy Young Award again?"
The free agent starting pitcher's team in 2023 remains a mystery, especially as rumors fly over the right-handed flamethrower's asking price. But that value got a nice jolt when the Baseball Writers Association of America announced the 39-year-old as the winner of the American League Cy Young Award during a TV special Wednesday evening.
JV led all of baseball with a 1.75 earned run average over his 28 regular season starts. He also led the American League with 18 wins, which is one better than his teammate Framber Valdez.
