Justin Verlander, who pitched for the Detroit Tigers from 2005-17, wants to achieve 300 wins, but he remains 38 wins from the historic milestone.

Verlander's velocity was down in 2024. But that doesn't tell the whole story behind his struggles or what to expect from him in 2025.

Verlander was way better than his numbers with the Astros in 2024, and there's almost no such thing as a risky one-year deal. Look for him to pad his Hall of Fame resume.
