    What We’re Hearing About Pitching Market After Justin Verlander’s Tigers Homecoming

    Justin Verlander is back in Detroit, and the pitching market just got even more fascinating. On this episode of The Baseball Insiders, Adam Weinrib and MLB insider Robert Murray break down when the Tigers reunion started to feel real, what Verlander’s return means for a suddenly loaded Detroit rotation, and whether the Tigers now boast one of the deepest staffs in baseball. The guys also dive into the still-clogged pitching market as Spring Training approaches, why Verlander found a home before other notable arms, and what happens next. Plus, some eyebrow-raising developments in Mets camp involving Francisco Lindor and defensive alignment decisions, and a surprising Caleb Durbin move that leaves big questions for both the Red Sox and Brewers. 00:00 - Intro 02:47 - Justin Verlander to the Tigers 13:34 - Marcell Ozuna to the Pirates 17:10 - Caleb Durbin to Boston --- SUBSCRIBE to The Moonshot, our weekly baseball email newsletter, where the FanSided MLB team, including Robert Murray, break down all the biggest stories in the big leagues with humor, insight and behind-the-scenes info: https://fansided.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b9bb472d0aa5e8abf01e2ced7&id=fa28ec1e24 Got more questions for Robert & Adam?
