1. Should have never left. Detroit teams hardly ever make big splash moves this is why it’s such a big deal to Detroit fans but the Tigers seem like they actually want to win something

2. Who is going to hit the ball??

3. Yes, they are going all in. Brad Holmes take notes.

4. Lion's take notes ❤

5. But no bat!!

6. Now go get Rhys Hoskins for a bat.

7. JV WELCOME HOME WOO

8. I'm thinking this is a Swan Song for Verlander. Finishing out as a Tiger.

9. Talk about a burst of energy on a Tuesday, this news just hit every note in my head and heart. Welcome home JV.

10. And a lot of this money is deferred

11. I'd love Melton as the two-inning setup guy – or stater.

12. Nobody knows the detail of the contract yet, probably he wants to retire as a Tiger. Verlander played in two World Series with the Tiger and lost both, with a strong team he wants to do it again. Where is Max?

13. this is how it should end for justin. in detroit. love it.

14. they are shooting for the moon in skubal's last year here. i love it.

15. I hope Verlander is used a bunch…. As a pitching coach….

16. AJ is going to have so much fun with all these options

17. Can we get scherzer and porcello back too!

18. FUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSS!! JV!!!!

19. OMG

20. ????????

21. There's another factor for Harris. JV will sell one hell of a lot of tickets. Lots of people will want to see him pitch one last time in a Detroit uniform at comerica park.

22. I care less about .JV – and more about having Kate Upton in town!!!!!

23. I think this means the Tigers trade Sauber – NOW!

24. So happy that there is a 0% chance Tommy Kanhle will be pitching in big playoff spots for the tigers in 2026

25. How they going all in this isn’t the old JV he’s a old JV we need hitting not high school reunions

26. I don’t care he’s 42 years old welcome home JV

27. I love their first reactions. We’re all happy he’s back!

28. Waste of money and space.

29. On paper…..this ROCKS!!! Jobe should be 100 percent next season(?)…

    It's simple…. HIT THE BALL, & WIN with this rotation.

30. They're gonna need a lot of starters. Looks like Olsen won't be fully recovered to start the year. Melton will have an innings limit. They will need all of these starters , and more.

31. My him a closer like smoltz

32. 4th of 5th Starter at best. But that’s fine. He doesn’t need to be the star this time.

33. skubal will be traded. verlander is not the verlander of old. if you paid me 13 million i would keep playing also.

34. I hope this locks him in to going to Cooperstown in a Tigers' uniform!

35. The Tigers are going 162-0

36. Winter got Karsch looking like a White Walker 😂😂

37. Go get em tigers

38. Motorcity Kittys.. scubby only needs a little help and Justin can give him just that. Don't bitch! You act like it's your decision or money but I guess that's how you make money for nothing ratchet jaw negative Nelly

39. Idc about anything else I’m just SO SO HAPPY WELCOME HOME

40. Please bring back Ty Cobb, too!

41. So basically your Verlander take was ike Dan Duquette's take on Roger Clemens in 1996 as being "in the twilight of his career". 😂

42. Hell yes!

    WELCOME HOME VERLANDER!

43. Harris doesn’t believe in a “Skubal Window” my ass. Let’s Go! 56 days.

44. wake me up when they get a bat or 3.
