Justin Verlander and Boston Red Sox fans may not be on the best terms right now. After Verlander lost the American Cy Young Award to Boston sinkerballer Rick Porcello, Verlander's fiancee, Kate Upton, voiced her displeasure via Twitter [warning: NSFW language].
While Upton's and, subsequently, Verlander's beef was mostly with the Baseball Writers' Association of America voters, Porcello and Sox nation were unavoidably swept up in the controversy.
Here's something that would surely quash the issue: Verlander suiting up for the Red Sox next season.
It's only speculation at this point.
