My money is on Urena, but he is certainly in the race. TBD in ST. I think the Fish still might want to take a shot at Strop too. They definitely have the $$ for it.

Baker and Verlander should get along well.

Baker and Verlander should get along well.

As a Verlander owner who wants just one more year of awesome, assuming his arm doesn't fall off by the AS break, I ain't mad at it. Then again, I think Baker's rep has stuck with him even as he has evolved a bit on this. He ain't what he used to be with pitch counts, I'd bet.
