NBC Sports Bay Area on MSNJustin Verlander keeps climbing MLB strikeout list, but Giants can't capitalize
There were a lot of reasons for Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants to exclaim "sheesh" after Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Justin Verlander. San Francisco and the veteran righty agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal. It was a major risk with him set to be 42 years old once Opening Day rolled around, especially with him coming off the least productive season of his career in 2024.
The Giants will need Verlander to pitch well if they are to have any chance of competing in the NL West, especially given that Roki Sasaki will not be signing in San Francisco.
