I agree—Jim Leyland and Dusty Baker would never share any negative impressions of Justin Verlander with us.
I would have been OK with signing him for 1/15, and I said so prior to his going to the Giants. If Harris thought he was a good fit and Verlander thought this the Tigers were a good fit, he probably would have, and i would have liked that. But he didn’t sign with us, for whatever reason, and I don’t rue that even a little. Now he’s signed with a team with a GM whom he faced on the field, which based on his press conference, seems important to him. Mazel tov, Justin, best of everything to you.
