Justin Verlander Opens Up About Letting Detroit Fans Down

Justin Verlander may have announced that 2026 will be the final season of his legendary career, but don't mistake that for a goodbye.

The future Hall of Famer made it clear Wednesday that he has every intention of pitching again before calling it a career. More than anything, Verlander wants one last opportunity to take the mound at Comerica Park in a Detroit Tigers uniform after injuries robbed fans of that moment twice already this season.
