Billy Eppler on trading Justin Verlander:
"I'd say there was about 4-5 [teams] that got serious. It probably came down to 2 this afternoon & both were acceptable. We ultimately were able to get a pretty well-known name in Drew Gilbert. With Ryan Clifford, a great job by Houston" pic.twitter.com/qLzdR2k6oL
