Full-Bearded Sports: "Clever Wrap-Up Title"


Happy Friday people!  A lot has happened this week so far, and some big things have gone down today.  So let me stop with the pleasantries and get right into the good stuff.

Let's start of with the big news of this Good Friday.  My fellow Tiger fans...
We can breathe again.  No need to fret, Justin Verlander is a Tiger for life.  Today, Verlander and the Detroit Tigers reached an agreement that keeps Verlander in Detroit through potentially 2020.  The deal is worth $180 million through 2019, with a $22 million vesting option that kicks in 2020 if he finishes in the top 5 Cy Young voting in 2019.

Bottom line, the Tigers did what they had to do.  They gave Verlander whatever his heart desired and now we have the best pitcher in baseball locked up.  Now bring on the World Series.

...

Other big news of the day, the Red Wings signed undrafted free agent defenseman Danny Dekeyser from Western Michigan.  Dekeyser is a local product from Warren De La Salle.  Along with the Wings, six other teams were interested in the 23 year-old defenseman.

This is key for the Wings.  Dekeyser has the skill to play right away and with the injuries the Red Wings have, he could see top four minutes right away.

...

Real quick cuz the Michigan game is on now,

The US drew against Mexico to get a key point on the road in World Cup Qualifying.  The defense, filled with inexperienced internationals, looked stellar once again. And Brad Guzan in two starts for the injured Tim Howard, picked up his second clean sheet.

...

Go Blue Beat Kansas!
