SiriusXM analyst and former Mets GM Steve Phillips talks with The Post’s Justin Terranova about this year’s Justin Verlander, the Mets’ dilemma and why the Nationals blew it.
Q: Can there be a Verlander-type deal this August?
A: The guy who might fit into a category like that this year is Josh Donaldson. He’s missed a large chunk of the season and is close to being ready to come back. If he shows he’s healthy and productive, he could be a tremendous difference-maker for a team.
