At the beginning of this campaign, the New York Mets disbursed $86 million to sign Cy Young Justin Verlander for two seasons. There are already more than 100 regular season games, and although the veteran pitcher was injured the first month, the truth is that Verlander’s performance has not been as expected.

In addition, the Mets have almost impossible to win a berth to the playoffs, which is why the New York front office might be considering offering Verlander for a trade this season. And according to the information you posted los angeles times, the Dodgers appear as a strong interest for the services of the veteran pitcher.

According to the Californian newspaper, the Dodgers will bid hard for a change that joins the right to the rotation of the team that currently leads the West Division of the National League. Along with Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urías and Tony Gonsolin; The Angelina ninth might have an excellent rotation to go for the championship.

The Dodgers already tried to sign Verlander last year when he was free people, but the great offer from the Mets ended up decanting the pitcher to go to New York.

Dodgers determined to go for the pennant

Even though the Dodgers lead the NL West, they barely have a 3 game lead regarding the San Francisco Giants. That is why the Los Angeles ninth is determined to win the pennant of its Division and closed a trade to strengthen its pitching.

Starting pitcher Lance Lynn and reliever Joe Kelly joined the Dodgers from the Chicago White Sox. This move, plus the serious interest mentioned by Verlander, would be the Dodgers’ great offense to go not only for the NL West pennant, but for the World Series.
