Teams Interested If Tigers Decide To Trade Justin Verlander

Jul 1, 2017 12:59 AM

If the Detroit Tigers decide to move Justin Verlander, there will be many teams interested.

Verlander is one of the highest-paid players in the Major League Baseball and is on a multi-year deal. He is due $28 million a year for this year and two more plus a vesting option for $22 million in 2020.

A person with knowledge of the situation put the chances for a trade of ace pitcher Verlander at a "3" on a (1 to 10 scale).
