The Dodgers are looking for starting pitching this offseason, and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. He won’t be cheap, of course, but because of his age — he’ll turn 40 in February — he also won’t command as many years as a younger pitcher might. Verlander also wasn’t eligible to receive a qualifying offer from the Astros, which means the team that signs him won’t lose draft picks or international signing bonus money like they would for signing Carlos Rodon, Jacob deGrom, or others who received the QO.
