I remember he got in an argument with someone in the dugout but don't remember much about it. Tigers just non-tendered him and didn't get anything back.

The video didn't get into specifics and we don't know the Tigers range anyway. Coming back from TJ. QO. 39 years old next year. Wants a contract of some length. Avila/ Ilitch can beg to differ... but IMO out of our range. I'm not interested. Anyone else in here interested in JV based on the above components? We haven't even gotten to dollars yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t he sort of fess up to it a little bit at the Prince Fielder press conference? I don’t remember what the exact question was, but his response to something related to an impulse buy was simply “I want the best ball players”.

RandyMarsh Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm probably thinking with my heart and not my head but I truly believe in Verlander and think he could be one of those special players that are productive into their 40s. I know he is coming off of TJ so I would definitely temper my expectations that first year but even if he isn't a frontline ace that doesn't mean he still can't be of value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late. If he doesn't, I would only be willing to do the 1-year in order to see how he comes back from TJ. Not interested in making a LT commitment when we have no idea on that. Sign him as a guess? As a... we "truly believe" in Verlander? I'm sorry, but no thanks. The only thing that makes sense to me is a 1-year recovery deal, for $20 Mill or less. At the end of 2022, after he's shown whether he's the Verlander of old (or at least the past 3 years, not including the TJ), or not, then I would reconsider making an investment in a LT contract with him. But not before then. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said me personally I think he is going to be fine and worth a multi year deal but that is just me going by a feeling as a fan which is something you of course can't do as an organization.

1984Echoes Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I personally think he'll come back as well... But I would just be uncomfortable with a multi-year deal at this point. Not certain if I'm thinking organizationally (thinking that way definitely says no to me) or if personally I'm in that "prove it to me" mode... probably a little bit of both...

The video didn't get into specifics and we don't know the Tigers range anyway. I have no idea what the Tigers range is but the article I read about Houston said they thought JVs QO would be around 20 million for a year. They didn't think he would go for it because he wants a long term deal. How long term of a deal is a 39 year old pitcher coming off TJ going to get? Maybe he will recover as good or better, be like Nolan Ryan and pitch until he's 45 or 46 and still be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatkoVarda Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 year contract, with option, 20M guaranteed 2022 - 10M 2023-24 - 10M buyout, or 30M each year JV gets the same $$$ as QO from Houston; if Tigers pick up option, it is 3/70M this costs the Tigers a draft pick (Max is going to get as much as 3/120 from the Dodgers) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 If Verlander wants to join the next winning culture of the Detroit Tigers, he will sign with them. If not, they will beat him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
