Don’t look now but we could soon know where Justin Verlander will play in 2022.
According to a report from Jon Heyman, Verlander “might prefer” to sign with a team that trains in Florida.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post added that the Red Sox and Blue Jays are among the team interested in signing Verlander.
Impression out there is Verlander might prefer a team that trains in Florida and perhaps one on the East Coast, as he has at least a home in Florida. @Joelsherman1 and @Ken_Rosenthal mentioned possible preference

Now, Heyman is reporting that the New York Yankees are among the teams interested in Verlander and that a deal could get done as early as this week.
Yankees are among teams in on future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, who’s expected to have a decision fairly soon, perhaps even this week. Jays and many others are interested as well. He has multiyear and 1-year options.
