After capturing his second World Series title with the Astros on Saturday night, there’s not too much more for Justin Verlander to accomplish in his Hall of Fame-worthy career.
Verlander, who returned this season at age 39 after missing the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery, posted one of his best statistical seasons as a major leaguer. He went 18–4 on the season with a 1.75 ERA and 185 strikeouts and was named to his ninth All-Star Game and is the overwhelming favorite to capture his third Cy Young award.
So could Verlander finally hang up his cleats after winning another championship?
