Much of the mockery stemmed from the fact that Ben’s brother Justin Verlander signed for the Mets in the offseason. Fans accused Ben of favoritism and said the only reason he picked the Mets was because they signed his brother.
Ben Verlander was quick to respond to his critics, pointing out his reasons for choosing the Mets.
New York Mets reunite Ben Verlander’s brother Justin Verlander with Max Scherzer
Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, who played together for Detroit from 2010 to 2014, are reunited again as they are both now in the New York Mets. Justin signed a two-year deal with the Mets which amounts to $86.7 million. It includes a $35 million vesting for 2025.
Although the Mets lost Jacob deGrom to the Texas Rangers, roping in Justin Verlander is a huge positive. Verlander recently won the Cy Young award after a stellar campaign and will be hoping to replicate his success next season.
