    It’s a risk, but it’s a low risk since it’s only a year. No other pitcher has this kind of upside without a long/expensive contract.

    Have the details of the option been discussed?

    Awesome news. JV, LMJ, Valdez, Garcia, Urquidy/Javier/Odorrizi sounds like a solid rotation if they can all stay healthy

    Seems that way. Surprised at two years 50M it took a player option. That makes it a little higher risk than I thought.

    I can't wait to see pitcher is more important than pitching coach. Like QB is more important than head coach.

    They can continue to be conservative with their collective workload, too.

    Lots of risk for a 38-39 yr old pitcher for $50/2 years but if anyone can do it, it's Verlander

    $50M for a guy who hasn’t pitched in 2 years. Damn.

    This man has made a lot of money in three years for having done little to nothing and still unproven to do anything again. Oh yeah.. theres also that kicker of making a lot more money in 4 years.

    Man I’m stoked. Was really hoping this would happen.

    We have unfinished business.
