One of those options includes trading right-handed aces, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.That would be a nuclear option for the Mets. The front office has not expressed interest in exercising this option, but given the state of the underachieving club, it’s a possibility that has to be considered.However, it appears to be one that Verlander himself had not considered until the subject was broached during the Subway Series at Yankees Stadium this week. Verlander is “not really” aware of the Aug. 1 deadline at the moment.“I’m just trying to focus on what’s ahead of me,” Verlander said. “I would hope that if there is any chance of [being traded] that [general manager Billy Eppler] would come and talk to me. That hasn’t happened, so I’m focused on being a Met.”Verlander’s contract runs through 2024...
