Justin Verlander's Tigers Contract Payments Extend to 2039

Justin Verlander will receive the final payments from his new contract with the Detroit Tigers in 2039. The Tigers have deferred $31 million of the total $128 million committed to Verlander and Framber Valdez through their new agreements. This arrangement means a portion of Verlander's earnings from his recent contract will be paid out over an extended period, concluding more than a decade from now.
