    The price for JV must be astronomical. CHC and HOU reportedly checked in and price hasn't dropped.

    What do y'all think the price is? Tucker plus several other high/non-40 prospects plus a ton of cash?

    I will give Luhnow credit if he gets this done. One thing I never understand is why a team wouldn't have his approval in hand already.

    Franklin Perez + a few other lower prospects? Guess it depends on cash.

    Just heard on MLB Network that Verlander said no.

    Tigers fans should be more upset about it than Astros fans.

    Man that is extremely sad for him to not want to come to a contender with a legit shot. Detroit is the armpit of America. Makes zero sense.

    I honestly can't even begin to imagine why he would say no. Like, I'm completely blown away.
