Despite a disappointing season so far, Justin Verlander still wants to compete with the New York Mets.
With the trade deadline just two weeks away, there has been some chatter about the Mets possibly shopping Verlander. But the 40-year-old is steadfast in his desire to contend for the World Series with the Mets.
"I remain committed to trying to win a championship here," Verlander told The Athletic's Will Sammon Tuesday.
Verlander is in the first season of a two-year, $86.7-million contract and holds a no-trade clause.
