The San Francisco Giants have bolstered their starting rotation by signing veteran pitcher Justin Verlander to a one-year, $15 million contract. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is set to join a pitching staff that includes Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Jordan Hicks, and Kyle Harrison, alongside promising prospects like Hayden Birdsong and Carson Whisenhunt.

At nearly 42 years old, Verlander's contribution to the Giants raises critical questions about his ability to perform at a high level after dealing with injuries last season. Limited to 17 starts in 2024 and facing issues with a neck injury, he recorded a 5.48 ERA. Despite these concerns, Verlander offers a low-risk opportunity for the Giants, who hope to stabilize their rotation.
