Paul Goldschmidt - Arizona Diamondbacks
The Case for Reunion:

Goldschmidt’s return would reignite fan nostalgia while giving Arizona a proven leader to guide their next playoff push.
Justin Verlander - Detroit Tigers
The Case for Reunion:
Justin Verlander is synonymous with Tigers baseball, winning an MVP and Cy Young during his 13-year tenure. Detroit’s current contention window makes Verlander a natural fit to bolster their rotation.
