San Francisco Giants right-hander Justin Verlander wants to pitch in 2026, and believes his recent turnaround will show teams he's worthy of a contract next season.
"I would hope somebody would offer me a contract now," Verlander told USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
The 42-year-old pitched well against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, tossing seven shutout innings during the Giants' 5-1 victory.
