The White Sox have officially clinched the Central division, a move that felt almost impossible to imagine just a couple of years ago. After two absolutely brutal seasons, seeing them pull off this kind of bounceback? You have to give them props. It’s a pretty wild feat for real.
Verlander’s Final Bow Is Here
Meanwhile, for other teams, the end of the season brings a different kind of emotion. We are heading into the Detroit Tigers’ final series, and while it’s devastating to be done in September, we’re gearing up for what’s sure to be an emotional final outing for Justin Verlander. This weekend is his final bow with the team, and it’s going to be a moment. If you can get to the park, you need to be there for his last game. You can even get deep with JV before then, he recently joined Mookie Betts for a one-hour podcast chat available on YouTube.
Tigers Looking To The Future (And Past)
The Tigers are also making moves to secure their future, announcing multi-year contract extensions for their television and radio voices, Jason Benetti and Dan Dickerson. That’s huge for fans who love consistency. And speaking of consistency, Max Clark joined Jason and Dan for the final episode of this season of the Tigers’ podcast, “Have a Seat.” Talk about some delightful news for listeners! On the player front, Hao-Yu Lee is out there dropping some serious truth bombs about his time in the big leagues. After his first stint, he thought everyone was better than him. But then he realized, “I’m better, too.” The guy hit Gerrit Cole, and that kind of confidence is what we love to see. He straight up said, “I was like, damn, I just hit Gerrit Cole , I can hit anybody.” That bat absolutely plays. Plus, teams like the Tigers are actively scouting prospects like Shoki Oda at the U18 Asian Baseball Championship, so the search for future talent never stops.
It’s been a season full of surprises across baseball, and with Verlander’s final game on the horizon this weekend, it’s definitely something to look forward to.
