New York Mets pitcher Justin Verlander is a wanted man leading up to the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
Appearing on MLB Network's MLB Central (starts at 3:25 mark), MLB.com's Jon Morosi said there is "legitimate" trade interest in Verlander, particularly from the San Francisco Giants.
Morosi noted the Giants are among the teams keeping an eye on the three-time American League Cy Young winner's status in Queens.
Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post and MLB Network, the Mets are "trending toward selling" after losing a weekend series to the Boston Red Sox that dropped their record to 46-53 and seven games out of a playoff spot in the National League.
