Can you justify the cost(s) of keeping Justin Verlander (assuming multi-year contract) when you have 3 other aces, a 6 man rotation without him, prospects on the way and upgrades needed elsewhere?

1. Valdez

2. McCullers

3. Javier

4. Garcia

5. Urquidy

6. Brown

7. Misael Tamarez, 22 yrs old (Invisi-Ball?)

Tamarez at AAA – 2.50 ERA, .105 AVG, 1.17 WHIP

The Athletic is predicting a 3 year $135 million contract w/ the best fits being:

1. ⁠⁠Astros

2. ⁠⁠Yankees

3. ⁠⁠Dodgers

4. ⁠⁠Braves

5. ⁠⁠Mets

6. ⁠⁠Orioles
