Part 2/6:
Verlander has always been viewed as a fierce competitor, but age and recent injuries have raised doubts about his ability to deliver over a full season. Despite this, the Giants are in a transitional phase where adding an experienced arm like Verlander could be invaluable. With a promising pool of younger pitchers, his presence could serve to guide them through the developmental process.
The Giants already possess a relatively deep pitching lineup, with established names like Logan Webb and Robbie Ray—provided he remains healthy. Verlander’s role may not only be about productivity on the mound but also about being a veteran mentor, potentially helping younger pitchers learn the intricacies of the game.
