Looking at Verlander's contract E-mail

The terms of Verlander's deal were released. He will make $6.75 million in 2010, $12.75 million in 2011 and $20 million for the three years after that. The thing that jumped out at me about that was the 2010 figure. If you remember, the Tigers offered Verlander $6.9 million in arbitration and he's getting less than that.

I could be completely off base here - it could just be the Tigers looking for some salary relief - but I can't help but wonder if Verlander agreed to that so the Tigers could make a good push for one last bat in the lineup. Something like, "You save us a couple million this year and we'll try to use it to get you some extra runs and wins." I know one thing. It's certainly not going to do anything to put all those Johnny Damon stories to bed.
