The Los Angeles Dodgers missed out on RHP Justin Verlander, who’s being traded back to the Houston Astros. Bob Nightengale of USA Today was first to report the news.
Verlander was reported to be one of the Dodgers’ top trade targets this deadline, however, he’s now headed back to Houston, for likely a big haul.
Verlander has been heavily linked to LA for the last 24 hours, and at times they were considered the favorite. However, Houston was making a push to bring him back to Houston, and it was reported that he wanted to head back there, too.
