Justin Verlander's contract is a problem for the Tigers

In March 2013, the Tigers and Justin Verlander agreed to a seven-year, $180 million contract. Things have not gone all that well for Verlander since then. What does this mean for the Tigers?

It's fun to talk about baseball and money. We all become genius general managers when it is not our $180 million to spend. It gives all of us something to talk about in those winter months when there are no real games to be played. The MLB Hot Stove contiually burns bright.

The Tigers have Justin Verlander under contract for four more seasons after the 2015 season concludes.
