Justin Verlander returns to the Detroit Tigers with a focus on winning a World Series title, something he regrets not achieving during his first tenure (2006, 2012). After winning two championships with the Houston Astros, he initiated discussions about rejoining the Tigers, leading to a one-year, $13-million contract after a vacancy arose in the rotation due to Reese Olson’s injury. The 42-year-old aims to contribute to a team expected to contend for the AL Central in 2026. Verlander previously earned numerous accolades during his first stint, including the AL MVP and Cy Young awards in 2011.
