With his name surprisingly swirling in trade speculation, inconsistent outings, and his club's overall play underwhelming, Justin Verlander told The Athletic he is 'committed to trying to win a championship' with the Mets. ✍️ WillSammon
If 2023 continues to be a lost season, would the Mets be better positioned to contend for 2024 with Verlander? If they paid down his salary in a potential trade, could they land major prospects? And would Verlander even OK a trade?
Of course. Absolutely. Just because we’re not in the position that everyone — including myself — thought we would be in doesn’t mean I still don’t believe. … I mean, I came here to win a championship. Look, nobody, including myself, is giving up on this season. But you have to have a long lens. Everyone wants the immediate satisfaction of now, now, now. I didn’t sign a one-year deal.
He’s given you no indication that he is going to stop trying to win now, as he says, to bridge the farm system? How do you reconcile with the idea that you haven’t been successful here, relatively speaking, and within a couple months people are bringing up trade stuff? It doesn’t seem like that would be the way someone like you would want to go out here.
