Verlander is he worth a claim

[theobird]

They would let him go to a claiming team. The Orioles would let Chris Davis go to a claiming team. That is why nobody claims these guys, because the original team can just get out from underneath a horrible contract and move on. I know that I would be thrilled if somebody claimed Chris Davis, and more than happy to wish him well.

Davis's contract is much worse & we have players closer to him than we do Verlander. It's not close for me, I'm with the Frob.

Yes indeed I agree. I think other teams have proven they think Det would let him go. They generally have a good sense of these things.

Verlander has a no trade clause and he's a 10-5 player. He's not going anywhere unless he really wants to go. I don't see him leaving Detroit for Baltimore unless the O's gave him a significant sweetener.
