Justin Verlander has officially joined the San Francisco Giants, signing a one-year, $15 million contract. The three-time AL Cy Young Award winner is expected to bolster a Giants rotation headed by All-Star Logan Webb. Last season, Verlander experienced injuries, finishing with a 5-6 record and a 5.48 ERA over 17 starts for the Houston Astros, missing significant time due to shoulder and neck issues.

At 42, the former AL MVP is baseball's active leader in several categories, including wins and strikeouts. Despite a challenging previous season and being left off the postseason roster, Verlander remains determined to compete at the highest level.
