The Yankees are not 'confident' in signing Verlander, but will still try to go after the veteran pitcher this offseason, according to MLB Insider Jon Heyman. “The Yankees tried for him last year, and they’ve gotten word through some high-ranking, political people, that he’d like to go to New York,” Heyman said on 670 The Score. “They made him an offer, and they felt, the way it was handled, that he didn’t want to go to New York. “The Yankees are again trying with Verlander, but I don’t think they’re confident.” The soon-to-be 40-year-old won his third AL Cy Young Award and helped lead the Houston Astros to the World Series title this past season. Despite his age, Verlander went 18-4 and pitched to a career-best 1.75 ERA over 175 innings on the mound. Heyman added that Verlander is expected to sign a big contract that could look similar to the Mets' Max Scherzer. “He’s gonna be a lot of money,” Heyman said. “He’s gonna want the Scherzer deal. So that limits him to maybe San Francisco, LA, Houston, and the New York teams.” sports.yahoo.com/justin-verlander-free-agency-buzz-142932508.htmlWhy we should pay Verlander whatever it takes:
But then we might have to hear her speak in interviews. She is definitely at her best when she is seen and not heard… |

Astros Free Agent Target: Corey Dickerson.
Latest On Yankees’ Free Agent Targets
While the New York Yankees’ efforts to retain Aaron Judge are getting the bulk of the attention, the team has other significant targets as well. The Yankees appear likely to try to add a starting pitcher no matter what happens with Judge, and they may have one name in mind.
Rodon was outstanding with the San Francisco Giants last season, posting a 2.88 ERA with 237 strikeouts in 178 innings of work. He has posted back-to-back All-Star seasons and could certainly slot in near the front of the Yankees rotation. However, they will have to fend off some other interest if they want to land him.
The Yankees are big fans of free agent left-hander Carlos Rodon, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The team has already been in contact with Rodon’s representatives, and are seriously interested in signing the 29-year-old.
The Yankees also have interest in Justin Verlander, but there is some skepticism they will be able to lure him away from the Houston Astros. Rodon is also younger than Verlander, which could make him a more suitable target for a long-term contract.
