Stuff+ matters so much less for guys with long track records, but I was curious. In revised numbers JV is 105, fairly steady last couple of years, while Cobb is just below ave at 99, up from mid 90s earlier in decade. In new numbers 10=1 standard deviation, so even underlying numbers similar too.

Justin Verlander and Alex Cobb each signed for one year and $15 million. Their surface numbers compare pretty similarly over the past two seasons. Verlander is going into his age-42 season. Cobb is going into his age-37 season.

The Tigers ranked 29th in on-base percentage last season. Even from Aug. 13 on, their .712 OPS was only 14th in MLB. Their 642 runs allowed was the franchise's third lowest mark since 1968. The Detroit Tigers need offense. Will they pay to get it? www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

The Tigers' signing of Alex Cobb is official. Cobb will make $15 million on a one-year deal. He can earn a $1 million bonus for reaching 140 innings and another $1 million if he reaches 150 innings. So the contract could max at $17 million Akil Baddoo was DFA'd as the corresponding move

Scott Harris on Roki Sasaki: "Every team in baseball wants Sasaki. We do, too. We're hard at work on a presentation to position this organization as appealing to Roki and his agent."
