These latest Astros rumors will surprise absolutely no one, but it's still worth discussing, right? After this week's GM Meetings came to close on Thursday, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that Justin Verlander's next destination could be a return to Houston.
This was easily the most predictable Astros rumor to emerge from the GM Meetings, and if the two sides don't have an agreement in place by the time the Winter Meetings begin, it'll surely be a topic of conversation once all the top executives and agents meet in Orlando, Florida next month.
Verlander has a long history with the Astros, and given the team's need for starting pitching this offseason, it only makes sense that he's on their radar.
