The Dodgers are definitely in the market for a starting pitcher or two, and one of the biggest names in the free-agent pool is Justin Verlander, who last week won his third career Cy Young Award. Pretty much every team looking for pitching is at least somewhat interested in Verlander, and Ken Rosenthal reported recently that the Mets are included in that list.
MLB insider Jon Morosi was on MLB Network this morning discussing where he thinks Verlander will end up, and Morosi likes the fit between Verlander and the Dodgers.
“I would say that, of the large market National League teams, that while the Mets are clearly interested, … I think the fit with the Dodgers and Verlander is at least as good, and probably even better, than the fit with the Mets.
