    Houston Astros will 'probably' make qualifying offer to Justin Verlander

    Having earned $20 million a year on a two-year extension the past two seasons, Verlander seems bound to earn no more than $15 million a season on a short-term speculative deal should he elect free agency. Debate about Verlander has raged all summer as the Detroit Tigers vaulted themselves into a position where contending in the AL Central in 2022 became a difficult proposition rather than an impossible one.

    Jim Crane: Astros 'probably' will make qualifying offer to Justin Verlander

    The Astros will “probably” extend a one-year qualifying offer to injured starter Justin Verlander this winter, but owner Jim Crane said on Thursday the ace righthander is seeking “a contract of some length” in free agency. Giving Verlander a qualifying offer affords the Astros draft-pick compensation if he signs elsewhere. The Astros extended one to Dallas Keuchel after the 2018 season, Gerrit Cole following 2019 and George Springer last winter.
