Houston Astros Welcome Back Verlander

In a stunning turn of events, the New York Mets and the Houston Astros have reportedly agreed to a monumental trade involving the three-time Cy Young winner, Justin Verlander. MLB.com's Mark Feinsand broke the news, disclosing that New York will be acquiring two talented outfielders, Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifford, in exchange for the veteran pitcher. Gilbert, Houston's top prospect and ranked 68th in all of baseball, is set to join the Mets' roster alongside Clifford, Houston's fourth-ranked prospect.
