Really nice to see how Dombrowski gets the deals done without the need for hurt feelings and ill-will of going to arbitration. I like Max and I feel both parties signed a deal that they are happy with. Congrats to both parties. Now...let's play some freaking baseball.
A 30M paycheck equates to a $10 surcharge, per ticket, just to see JV pitch every 5th game.

Just thinking ...
The Tigers Justin Verlander is thinking about pitching in the WBC, the Tigers are saying, it's his call.
With the extended season the Tigers have had with the Post Season the last few years, some are wondering if J.V. should pitch in the WBC and chance the extra wear and tear on the arm, when looking forward to potentially another long Post Season.
Personally, it doesn't matter to me, if your a good team, good enough to get into the Post Season, you have to be conditioned enough to be able to pitch well in the PS, many staffs have done it year in and year out ... Yankees and Braves come to mind.
The other thing to think about ... J.V. notoriously gets off to a slow start record wise, not necessarily his doing, sometimes it's the pen that make the early record suffer.
My take on it, if he wants to pitch, let him, maybe he'll get the poor April he always has out of the way in Feb/March.
You guys thoughts are welcomed ...
