This is more “fun” than a specifically targeted rumor, even as the Chicago Cubs arguably have the need for multiple starting pitchers. I’m not sure there’d be a pursuit here. I’m also not sure how into it I’d be unless it were coordinated with some other moves.
But, again, it’s fun:
Justin Verlander is available on the trade market.Verlander is on an expiring contract; out of respect to the future Hall of Famer, the Giants are open to working out a deal if it makes sense for Verlander and the organization.His last 2 starts: 10 IP, 1 ER.@MLBNetwork
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 30, 2025With Giants selling, Justin Verlander becomes a trade candidate. Has full no-trade, and Giants will of course work him.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 30, 2025With full no-trade rights and a contract that pays him $15 million this year (about $5 million remaining), the odds of getting a deal together that is palatable for all three of the Giants, the other team, and Verlander is pretty unlikely. But if it does work out, because of those factors, you can assume the acquisition price would be extremely low.
Verlander, 42, has posted a 4.53 ERA this year for the Giants over 18 starts and 89.1 innings. That’s about 13% worse than league average by ERA-, which factors in the ballparks where he’s pitched. His FIP is a little better at 4.28 (9% worse than league average), but you’d have to believe he’ll do some improving from here if you were going to bring him in as more than depth.
That said, he actually has a sub-4 ERA going back to mid-April after a slow start, and the majority of his starts in that time have at least been competitive. There’s something to be said about having a veteran of that stature available to talk to the rest of your staff, too. There is always the potential for some wisdom there. And maybe even a resurgence in a pennant race.
Again, I’m not sure this is where the Cubs would direct their efforts to acquire starting pitching, but you never know. Maybe they want to try to add an impact type and a veteran depth type …
