Justin Verlander navigated his free agency with interest from both the Houston Astros and the San Francisco Giants. Although not set on joining the Giants, they pursued him amid the Astros' inability to extend an offer. Verlander reflected on his successful tenure with the Astros, where he achieved two Cy Young Awards and two World Series titles. Despite his achievements, he is uncertain about which team's cap will appear on his Hall of Fame plaque, confirming it won't be the Giants or Mets.
Once you kind of get the ball rolling with negotiations, you just don't know how things are going to play out, Verlander said before the Giants played the Astros on Monday.
Some really special things happened here. I'm not blowing smoke; this is just kind of how I operate. I let things just kind of happen and make decisions when I have all the information.
