Justin Verlander, who the Phillies took for five runs in Game 1 of the 2022 World Series, is coming to the National League East. Verlander is signing with the Mets, according to an initial report from SNY's Andy Martino:
The New York Post's Joel Sherman reports that the two-year deal is worth $86 million:
In the World Series overall this year, Verlander had an ERA of 5.40 in 10 innings of work across two games for Houston against the Fightins. Phillies fans are hoping that becomes a recurring theme with Verlander in the division going forward.
The Phillies' first series against the Mets in 2023 will begin on May 30 in Queens.
