Orioles Pursuing Justin Verlander
1 year agoThe Baltimore Orioles are among the teams actively pursuing a trade for New York Mets right-hander Justin Verlander on deadline day on Tuesday, according to a source. The Orioles are engaged on pitching with multiple sellers, including the Detroit Tigers, who are going to part with both left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Verlander has a full no-trade clause, so he is going to determine his destination if he's dealt. The Houston Astros are viewed as the heavy favorites for a reunion, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are also apparently in the mix. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer has been excellent in his last seven starts and hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any start in that span.
