It looks like the Tigers and Justin Verlander are getting closer to a long term deal that will lock up the franchise pitcher.  The current deal on the table is 5 years, $75 million with the Felix Hernandez contract as the bench mark.  Rosenthal and Morosi say in their piece that if there’s a sixth year at the right price, it’ll probably be a done deal.  Good news for Tigers fans, although the Tigers record on signing arbitration eligible pitchers to longer term deals isn’t a good one.
