DENVER – Time is ticking closer to midnight’s waiver trade deadline and Justin Verlander’s name remains out there as potentially the next piece to leave town in the Detroit Tigers’ remodeling.

Though signs have pointed to Verlander’s inclusion in trade rumors being more speculative than substantial, there remains a possibility he is dealt in the coming hours. That possibility, though, is not considered probable.

With Justin Upton getting traded to the Los Angeles Angels earlier in the day, the question of Verlander being traded is no longer if, but when.
