The Houston Astros were eliminated in a stunning two-game Wild Card round upset but that hasn't dampened the enthusiasm for one veteran to return in 2025.
Even a devastating early postseason exit isn't enough to dampen Justin Verlander's zest for a 20th season in Major League Baseball.Verlander, who turns 42 next February, told reporters after the Houston Astros were eliminated by the Detroit Tigers in a Wild Card round sweep that he intends to play again in 2025.'I'm not ready to step away yet,' Verlander said.Verlander didn't pitch in either game of the Astros' stunning loss to the Detroit Tigers at Minute Maid Park.
1 innings in a season interrupted by the neck injury.From 2006-19, Verlander established his reputation as a top-of-the-rotation workhorse with the Detroit Tigers and Astros. He made eight All-Star teams, won two Cy Young Awards, and in 2011 became the first American League pitcher to win the Most Valuable Player award since Dennis Eckersley in 1992.Many questioned Verlander's ability to bounce back from Tommy John surgery after missing the entire 2021 season.
