Justin Verlander ponders about returning to the Detroit Tigers before ending his storied 19-year career but understands there are a lot of factors at play.
"Obviously, I think about it," Verlander said Friday with his Houston Astros in Detroit for a three-game series, according to Evan Petzol of the Detroit Free Press. "You come back here, and obviously, it has to be on your mind. But as far as signing with the Tigers and coming back here, that's fate. I don't know. That's something that's out of my control. It's an unanswerable question."
Verlander will make his seventh career start against the Tigers on Sunday, including his fifth in Detroit since a September 2017 trade ended a 13-year run with the club.
