New York also sent cash to Texas and received one of the Rangers' top prospects in infielder Luisangel Acuña, the younger brother of Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. New York said he will be optioned to Double-A Binghamton.
"I think it largely depends on how the organization views next year. I think Max is a tough sign for trying to go back at it," Verlander said."So I'm committed to trying to win a championship here, but if the organization decides that that's not exactly the direction that they think is a best fit for next year and go for it again next year then yeah, I would be more open to it.""It's pretty special," he said.
"That might be the new 300 as we go forward," Mets manager Buck Showalter said."It's an honor to be a part of just watching." Making his 498th career start, Verlander gave up five hits in his third straight win. He walked off the mound to a warm hand and tipped his cap to the crowd of 33,861 before accepting handshakes from teammates in the dugout.
