There are four big differences between the last time the Astros acquired Justin Verlander and now.
Justin Verlander is back with the Astros, as the team traded for him again, sort of like 2017. Sort of.
Indeed, if the Astros are trying to, at a minimum, keep their streak fo six straight appearances in the ALCS, acquiring Verlander was a massive step on Tuesday. That's not just because Verlander himself is so great, but the ripple effect of having JV back in the building should steady some of the inconsistencies with the young guys on the staff.
Hell, Framber Valdez went out and celebrated by tossing the first complete game no hitter by a lefty in franchise history on Tuesday night. The Verlander Effect is real! Now, if it feels a little different this time around than the trade deadline deal in 2017 that delivered Verlander to Houston, there are good reasons for that, and it's not just the fact that 2017's trade occurred at the now-defunct non-waiver deadline on August 31, and it's not just because the Mets sent over an unprecedented pile of cash with Verlander.
