Does Astros cheating scandal hurt Verlander's legacy?

It hurts my heart to say it, but it seems highly unlikely that JV didn't have at least some knowledge of what was going on in Houston. I'm not saying he was directly involved in any way, but it seems he did know about it. I think it would be good for JV to speak out against the sign-stealing tactics the Astros were using, like he did before he was traded to Houston. Verlander staying silent on such a big scandal involving his team is not a good look for him. I by no means am implying that his legacy is completely tarnished, and I think calling him a cheater is going too far. There is no evidence that Verlander was directly involved. But it is fair to ask: Is Verlander's legacy now hurt by the Astros cheating scandal?
