Justin Verlander, another former Cy Young winner off the free-agent market, has found a new home on the West Coast signing a one-year, $15 million deal with the San Francisco Giants, according to ESPN. The agreement is pending a physical, Jeff Passan reports, as the soon-to-be 42-year-old will play his 20th season in 2025.

The future Hall of Famer appeared in just 17 games in the 2024 season with the Houston Astros, going 5-6 and a 5.48 ERA. The numbers are a far cry from what the pitcher was in his prime, boasting three Cy Youngs in his cabinet. However, the 41-year-old is running on fumes as he hopes to provide the Giants a veteran arm in the rotation.
