How Steve Cohen, Mets Convinced Justin Verlander To Sign With Team

Justin Verlander signed a two-year, $86.7 million deal with the New York Mets. Verner became the team's first priority after Jacob deGrom left for the Texas Rangers. He won the American League Cy Young award in 2012. He helped Houston Astros win the World Series in 2013. The team won a lot of games last season. Steve Cohen is the owner. His team is in a win-now mode. It could be the biggest win in Cohen's tenure as owner and Verleron's signing could prove to be a success.
