San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo will share a team with Justin Verlander, a living legend of "262 wins" in the major leagues.
"Justin Verlander signed a one-year contract with San Francisco after going through medical tests," Jeff Bankrupt of ESPN said on the 8th (Korea time), adding, "The future Hall of Fame member, who will turn 42 next month, will spend his 20th season in San Francisco."
Verlander is now called the Living Legend along with Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer, who play in the Major League Baseball. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers as the second overall pick in the first round of the major league rookie draft in 2004, and made the big league stage in 2005. In his first season after his debut, he lost two games with a 7.15 ERA, but he could not evaluate Verlander's talent in just two games.
Verlander had a disappointing first season after his debut, but Verlander joined the starting rotation immediately after the 2006 season, spending 186 innings in 30 games, winning the Rookie of the Year title with a 17-9 record and a 3.63 ERA, and being reborn as Detroit's "Ace." The following year, Verlander, who had eaten 201 ⅔ in 32 games, including his first "no hit" since his debut, experienced the joy of being selected as an All-Star for the first time with an 18-6 record and a 3.66 ERA.
Verlander's success continued since then. In the 2008 season, he had 17 losses, but won 11 games and recorded double-digit wins for the third straight year, and soared to 19 wins in 2009 to 18 wins in 2010. He also reached the peak of the 2011 season. Verlander had a commanding season with 24 wins, 5 losses and a 2.40 ERA, including 251 innings in 34 games, and ranked first in the multiple wins, percentage, ERA, and strikeout categories, winning the regular season MVP title along with the American League Cy Young Award.
Verlander, who rose to the "best" position, had only five wins (eight losses), including only 20 games in 2015 while walking on a solid path with double-digit wins for nine consecutive seasons until 2014, but was revived in 2016 and changed his uniform to the Houston Astros through a trade during the season in 2017. He then secured his second Cy Young Award with 21 wins and a 2.58 ERA in 34 games (223 innings) in 2019, and even held his third Cy Young Award with 18 wins and a 1.75 ERA in 28 games in 2022.
Prior to the 2023 season, the New York Mets gave Verlander a contract of $43.33 million (about 62.9 billion won), the highest annual amount at the time, and formed a "Cy-Young One-Two" punch with Scherzer to win the World Series, but Verlander returned to Houston through a trade as the desired result was not produced. In the first season of his return, Verlander still looked worthy of the modifier "Golden Bee." 안전놀이터
However, this year, he became a free agent without leaving a significant result with five wins and an ERA of 5.48 in 17 games due to neck injuries, but there was a team that wanted to become a legend. It was San Francisco. Initially, nothing was known about the size of Verlander's contract, but according to Mark Pinesand of MLB.com , it is 15 million dollars a year.
San Francisco invested a lot of money to boost its performance by recruiting Lee Jung-hoo last year, but failed to achieve its goal of advancing to the postseason, and remained relatively quiet this winter. Notably, I just watched "Ace" Blake Snell leave. However, I signed a one-year contract to recruit Verlander and now he can fill the void left by Snell. He will turn 42 soon, but he is still a competitive player. How can Verlander who has overcome his injury show at San Francisco.
