That’s a damn handsome man right there, doesn’t look a day over 35
It struck me that while it may be a naive wish, not only is JV a good signing but possibly a recruiting tool for Skubal to stay. Seeing a legendary veteran seek to come back to Detroit has to account for *something*.
Hold on brother, I’m crying
Goddamn. Now that’s a rotation
Best 5 Alive
If they can get some bats behind this rotation, we may be very dangerous this year.
Those Tigers Hoodies Framber and Mize are wearing are fresh!
I like that we have a guy who can casually call up Tom Brady or Tiger Woods and ask for longevity advice
Now my Verlander jersey with the current logo is field accurate.
The branding guys intercepted Casey this time
I loved how he reminded everyone that he always said he wanted to pitch until he was 45 and basically said he’s still keeping an eye on 300 wins. Said he plans to make 30+ starts this season.
He did say that if he suffers a catastrophic injury, he’ll likely retire instead of doing all the rehab it would take but he did not say or even hint that this was his final season if he’s healthy.
