WOW! The Houston Astros acquired Detroit's starting pitcher Justin Verlander on August 31, less than an hour before the deadline to be able to pitch for the Astros in the post season.
For me as an Astros fan for the past 44 years, this is huge!
Verlander has been with the Tigers for all of his career and had a no-trade clause in his contract. This must have been a very tough decision for him but I'm glad he made it.
The Astros have been having a great year but their pace for the past month or so hasn't been what it was in the beginning of the year. They still have the best road record in the majors which is pretty cool and might be what helps them advance in the playoffs.
