Tigers’ Verlander on PEDs: ‘We want a clean game’

Minneapolis — Justin Verlander’s outrage isn’t directed at Marlins’ Dee Gordon, Blue Jays’ Chris Colabello or any specific player who has tested positive for PEDs.

The target for his outrage is much broader.

“The players, we are all together on this — we want a clean game,” Verlander said before the Tigers played the Twins Friday night. “The Players Association has pushed to get the system where it is now. I think people think it’s the other way around, but it’s not.

“It’s the players who have pushed the system to where it’s at and we still want it to be better.
