On Tuesday afternoon, three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Detroit Tigers. 

Verlander, who is about to turn 43, was a first-round draft pick of the Tigers in 2004. He spent 13 seasons with the franchise until he was traded to the Houston Astros in 2017. He most recently played with the San Francisco Giants in 2025.

"JV" boasts a career résumé of nine All-Star selections, 2006 Rookie of the Year, 2011 MVP and Triple Crown winner, and 2017 ALCS MVP. Through a 20-year career, he has accumulated an 81.7 WAR (wins above replacement), 3.32 ERA and over 3,500 strikeouts.

The Tigers finished 87-75 last season and reached the ALDS before falling in Game 5 to the Seattle Mariners. Detroit also signed left-handed starting pitcher and two-time All-Star Framber Valdez to a three-year, $115 million deal, joining back-to-back Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal in the starting rotation.
