New York Mets starting pitcher Justin Verlander told Will Sammon of The Athletic that he remains committed to winning a championship with the team, which entered Tuesday sitting a disappointing fourth in the National League East with a 43-50 record.
Verlander expressed his commitment multiple times to the organization during the interview:
"Ownership is a big part. Their commitment to this franchise is apparent. Even now, Steve's comments the other day. Obviously, we put ourselves in a really tough spot. But he still believes in us. He didn't say that he wants to sell.
