Verlander back to Houston 1 year / $25m deal with a player option

[ixiXSolidXixi]

25 millions for 1 year… lol

[Heyward]

That honestly surprises me. Havent seen it from Passan, Ken or any of the big insiders yet.

[Heyward]

1 year 25 mil, just slightly more than the QO. Good for JV though.

I think Verlander's brother qualifies as an insider in this case.

I’m glad we didn’t do 25. I like Verlander and hope he stays healthy though. Greinke will be a lot cheaper I’d think.

I didnt know that was JV's brother but yeah it's all over twitter now.

We only need a 4th-5th SP type for 8-10 mil, with Soroka hopefully back by June/July. Plus alot of internal options can cover some innings. I wouldnt have been mad if we got Verlander though.

[bravesfanforlife88]

wow the option is a player option for $25m. so it is essentially a 2 year ./ $50m deal

[bravesfanforlife88]

so Verlander gets 2 years / $50m, Syndergaard gets 1 year / $21m...

the price of guys like Stroman, Scherzer, etc. is going to be insane!

[Hudson2]

I would be willing to bet that AA offered a 1 year deal at 20 million with a team option. And if that’s the case then the payroll is a lot higher than any of us thought.

Makes you wonder if Freeman sees that and thinks he can get more too.

[McCann'sCans]

Would people rather have Syndergaard at 1/21 or Verlander at effectively 2/50?

Verlander back to Houston.

Kinda surprised about that

Healthy Verlander and that’s a steal of a deal, but that’s too much risk for the Braves.

[thewupk]

Yes. You cannot be critical of Brian Snitker at any point in any game on that forum.

Haha yeah. I always get down voted when I do that.

Super risky for Houston. Bc if he gets hurt this year he will no doubt exercise that option.

Short-term deals are always going to have a higher AAV.

He's scared to leave the cheating lab

No such thing as a bad 1 year deal but probably Verlander even coming off TJ.
