Sounds like Verlander insisting on a 3 year deal and Astros not willing to go there. I don't believe Blue Jays are in play here but if you were a team like Toronto would you give JV a three year deal?

A few things to say about the Verlander side. I believe last season they were seen as the runner up, correct me if I'm wrong. The other side is I do wonder if his model wife would want to commit to 3 years here? On the Toronto end, I think with the Kikuchi and Ryu dead money tied up, they have to nail a surefire stud if they do give anyone a contract. I would do 3 years with the guy because he's shown he's that stud, even in his old age. I think he's the type of player with confidence and credibility they need on the pitching side of things. I'm very skeptical the Jays are willing to roll the dice on bringing in that expensive contract though, but if he's only looking for 3 years @ $30M/season, I'm inclined to do it.
