. He returned to Houston, where he won World Series in 2017 and ‘22, and he enjoyed that.
Verlander, at 40 years old, has certainly been a factor in that. He has flashed the potential that any two-time Cy Young winner would be expected to flash. He has also shown signs of being an aging pitcher. While the Mets haven’t always seen the pitcher who won a Cy Young and a World Series last year, this week’s Houston trip serves as a reminder Justin Verlander did both less than a year ago.If nothing else, perhaps the trip to Houston can serve as a glimmer of hope for the Mets, that in Verlander they have someone who picked up two World Series wins against the Phillies in the season after his Tommy John surgery.
The Mets, despite holding some of the necessary pieces, are nowhere near that point of the World Series. But with every reminder, every chance at a substantial win streak starting, matters at this point. The next few weeks will tell if an early-season trip to Houston did just that.Julio Rodriguez has struggled to recapture the offensive production that earned him the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2022.
