One good season the last 4.5 years, but this is a blockbuster deal? Only because of his name it's being made a big deal.

can't he opt out after the season? i wouldn't be surprised if he ends up there next year. had to be begged to go to houston. something is wrong with that astros front office.
No, he is locked in through 2019 at least.
Verlander never vetoed it. The dolt saying that was wrong.

Cubs have top 3 team pitching since asb,Arrieta lowest era in mlb since asb verlander isnt the difference between nothing for the cubs
Not giving up any significant prospects and taking on that contract for verlander, only prospects the cubs have left with any real upside are in aa /low a I wouldn't give up any of them for verlander
they didn't need or want to, he controlled everything cuz of the ntc.He just went to houston cuz the cubs wouldn't give up anything significant for him

The Cubs farm is a bit depleted.
Losing Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres in a year stings.
The Cubs don't have a single Top 100 prospect at the moment. I'm not saying their system is bad, but it's gonna take a little time to rebuild. They don't have the assets to land a guy like Verlander.
A deal around Caratini wasn't going to cut it
Tigers need to trade Fulmer this winter. He'll go to waste otherwise during his team control years. They gotta try to load up so they can keep up with the Sox and Twins in a few years. Dark days are here.
Yeah was just telling my buddy at work who's a Tigers fan, good moves this week, but you guys are so far behind in the rebuild than the Sox now, it's gonna be tough. At least you have pockets to buy FAs tho?Tigers need to trade Fulmer this winter. He'll go to waste otherwise during his team control years.

Chris Illitch won't spend money like his dad. They're gonna be spending like the rest of the division now. :kobewhatever:
Shame too because the next two years are gonna have a ton of nice free agents and they're gonna have A TON of room after next season. Cabrera and Zimmermann are the only two making any money after 2018. Everyone else is making peanuts.

USA today just dropped an article about it. Dodgers was his first choice but didn't even want no part of it.
