Thanks to Ryan Ermanni for breaking this!

AP: Justin Verlander agrees to five-year contract with Tigers

Freep.com
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer

A person familiar with the negotiations says the Detroit Tigers and Justin Verlander have agreed to an $80-million, five-year contract.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity tonight because the deal had not been announced. The person said the contract could be completed as soon as Thursday.

Verlander won a career-high 19 games with a career-best 3.45 ERA last season. He is 65-43 with a 3.92 ERA in four full seasons with the Tigers.

The sides agreed to avoid arbitration. When figures were exchanged last month, Verlander asked for $9.5 million for next season, and the team offered $6.9 million.

Verlander ended up securing a more lucrative contract than Felix Hernandez. The Seattle Mariners gave Hernandez a $78-million, five-year deal.

Good deal indeed. Remind me to start teaching my son how to throw a ball hard. I could use $16M a year or whatever the math works out to be, in my family.

$16m seems like a steal, but time will tell

Can't ask for much more than a legitimate ace at a fair-market price.
