Daily News | Mets take a page out of Dave Dombrowski’s book, pairing Max Scherzer with Justin Verlander
president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski paired Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander atop the Detroit Tigers’ starting rotation and took his best shot at winning the World Series.
Verlander, who turns 40 in February, will essentially replace Jacob deGrom in giving the Mets a 1-2 rotation punch, only with the promise of making more than the 11 starts that deGrom provided last season. DeGrom fled New York Friday night by agreeing to a five-year, $185 million contract with the Texas Rangers.
For five seasons, Verlander and Scherzer teamed up for Dombrowski-built teams in Detroit. They led the Tigers to four consecutive division titles and an American League pennant in 2012. But the Tigers somehow didn’t win a World Series with them, even though Verlander won the Cy Young Award in 2011 and finished second in 2012 while Scherzer won in 2013.
