In Verlander, the Giants get an arm to help bolster the depth of the rotation, which already includes Logan Webb and Robbie Ray This will be just the second time the future Hall of Famer will pitch in the National League after he spent the first half of the 2023 season with the Mets before he was traded back to Houston, where he had pitched from 2017-22. Had he reached the innings threshold, the Mets would have been on the hook for $17.5 million this coming season.
