On Wednesday, the SF Giants reportedly signed Tyler Mahle to a one-year deal. The move not only rounds out the rotation, but likely shuts the door on a reunion with future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander.
Latest SF Giants signing likely shuts the door on reunion with Justin Verlander
When the 2025 season ended, the Giants and Verlander said all the right things about a possible reunion. However, that seemed unlikely for a few reasons. One reason is that he resides in Florida, and the Giants hold spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona.
In addition to being on the road for much of the season, that would mean another six weeks away from home while he prepares for the long year.
