The Mets will receive OF Drew Gilbert from the Astros in the deal for Verlander, per source, plus at least one other propsect. It's not known how much money the Mets will send to Houston.

Yeah not only is this a good get for the rotation but just like in 2017 it's a huge boost to the clubhouse, team morale, and fanbase.

I'll just come out and say JV isn't really the leader type. He's a huge boost to the rotation, but he doesn't really stick around or spend time with the young guys. He does his own thing.
Astros lose top prospect Drew Gilbert to the Mets for Justin Verlander.

It’s reported that another prospect is heading to New York. I believe it is Joey Loperfido.
The Astros are headed to New York after tomorrow's game, so Verlander likely meets them in the Big Apple and pitches against the Yankees this weekend. I guess he'll go to the White House on Monday, too.

The #Mets are wiping the financial ledger as clean as possible for David Stearns, who's expected to be hired as president of baseball operations this winter.

I can't wait for the meltdown when the Astros don't acquire Verlander
As much as I agree with you, I would much rather we get the closer from Pittsburgh, then add Carlos Rodon from the Yankees and maybe another power LHHBadAggie said:

Surely that's a signal to everyone that Chas is this team's primary CFer for the next 3 years.

We gave up Gilbert?????
Man, the new Brown and Crane combo is not impressing me
I think he's a leader in more of a vibes/professionalism way than actually trying to be one.texasaggie2015 said:

This makes it even more important now for the Astros to take care of the Kyle Tucker situation.
