After the Mets traded veteran starting pitcher Max Scherzer to the Rangers on Saturday, Justin Verlander admitted he’s reassessing his future with the organization.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday after throwing 5.1 innings in a win against the Nationals, Verlander addressed the team’s decision to offload Scherzer ahead of MLB’s trade deadline.
The 40-year-old admitted he was “a bit surprised” by the departure of both Scherzer, who agreed to waive his no-trade clause to join the Rangers, and veteran reliever David Robertson, who was dealt to the rival Marlins.
