Imo, JV will dominate this season. 1 bad season and suddenly everyone forgets he's a HOF pitcher.

I don't think anyone is forgetting that he is a HOF pitcher. They are remembering that he is going to be 42 at the beginning of the season. I believe that father time has caught up with JV

Tigers could have blueprint for Riley Greene contract after A's-Brent Rooker extension

The Oakland A's signed designated hitter Brent Rooker to a five-year extension, and the Detroit Tigers would be wise to do the same with Riley Greene.

Tigers might've been better off waiting for Dodgers' roster crunch to address 2B

Could the Los Angeles Dodgers have provided a better solution via trade for the Detroit Tigers to fill second base instead of Gleyber Torres?

At 40 he was really good. Some guys just have it and put father time on pause. Plus, a 1 year deal for 15 mill - I rather have JV than Cobb.

ok, so at 40 he was good. That was 2 years ago. Unless he found the fountain of youth, he isn't going to get better. I would rather have the 37 year old, but really don't want either.

Age doesn't mean a whole lot. Esp. 37 to 42. I figure if someone can pitch good at age 40 they can pitch good at 42. We basically talked a guy out of retirement to come pitch for us.

like I said, I don't want either. But the writing is on the wall for JV. He was terrible last year. As a rule, 42 year old pitchers don't get better, they get worse.

42 year old Nolan Ryan better than 41 year old Ryan. And 44 year old Ryan was even better than that.
