Episode Details

Justin Verlander is calling it quits after a legendary 19-year career, retiring at the end of this season — right after being honored as an All-Star legend. The Detroit Tigers’ ace, who debuted in 2006 and won Rookie of the Year, went on to dominate with three Cy Young Awards, two World Series titles, and over 3,500 strikeouts. Even after a brutal Tommy John recovery, he returned stronger, winning his third Cy Young in 2022. Though his final season showed signs of decline, Verlander’s decision was rooted in listening to the game, not chasing milestones. With 260+ wins, 10 All-Star nods, and a Hall of Fame-caliber resume, his legacy as one of baseball’s greatest pitchers is secure.
