Justin Verlander trade rumors: Houston Astros exhibiting high interest in re-acquiring ace
Veteran pitcher Justin Verlander could be leaving the New York Mets to rejoin the Houston Astros ahead of the trade deadline. The Astros have expressed a strong desire to acquire Verlander, who has regained his form after a slow start to his Mets career. The 40-year-old's return to the Astros could be significant for the team, which is currently struggling with injuries. However, the trade won't be straightforward as Verlander will need to waive his full-no-trade clause. The Mets' strategy became evident after the recent trade of Max Scherzer. Verlander previously had a successful stint with the Astros, winning the World Series twice.
