According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Dodgers "asked" about Justin Verlander this offseason but ultimately thought his price tag was too high.
Verlander owns a home in Beverly Hills with fianc?e Kate Upton and it sounds like he would have been willing to waive his no-trade clause to join the Dodgers. However, the Dodgers are trying to get under the luxury tax and weren't willing to pay Verlander's $28 million salary. Though a deal for Verlander was never close, the two sides could resume talks at a later date
Side story:
According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Padres and Twins both inquired about Jose Iglesias this offseason.
