The Giants' president of baseball operations confirmed that Brandon Crawford gave his blessing for Verlander to wear No. 35, but Verlander wishes to talk to Crawford personally.

With nearly two decades in the league, Verlander is aware of his stature, yet he values personal connection over automatic entitlement to jersey numbers.
