Notable events during Justin Verlander’s time with the Astros, which ended Monday with him agreeing to a two-year deal with the New York Mets worth a reported $86 million.— Minutes before the waiver trade deadline, the Astros acquire the 34-year-old Verlander, a seven-time All-Star who won the 2011 American League MVP and Cy Young Award, from the Tigers. Verlander agrees to waive his no-trade clause to make the deal happen.
Justin Verlander embraces Jose Altuve as they celebrate the Astros' 4-0 win over the Yankees in Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS at Minute Maid Park.— After twice losing in the World Series with Detroit, Verlander wins his first championship when the Astros beat the Dodgers in Game 7. He was 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA in his two starts against Los Angeles.
Justin Verlander's second Cy Young Award season in 2019 was punctuated by his third no-hitter Sept. 1 in Toronto.— In his final regular-season start, Verlander becomes the 18th pitcher to record 3,000 career strikeouts. He reached the milestone by striking out Kole Calhoun, one of his 12 punchouts on the night. He finished the season with 300 strikeouts, joining Randy Johnson in 2000 as the only pitchers to reach 300 strikeouts in a season and 3,000 for a career in the same game.
