Tigers announce Verlander extension: Justin Verlander agreed to an $80 million, five-year deal to stay with the Tigers. His deal that avoids a salary arbitration hearing includes a $500,000 signing bonus, $6.75 million this season, $12.75 million next year and $20 million in each of the following three seasons. He would have been eligible for free agency after the 2011 World Series. Verlander is the only pitcher in baseball history to pitch a no-hitter, start a World Series game, be voted Rookie of the Year and a selected an All-Star in his first two full seasons. When figures were exchanged last month in arbitration, Verlander asked for $9.5 million for next season and the team offered $6.9 million. He made $3,675,000 last season. The two-time All-Star got $2 million more than a comparable pitcher, Felix Hernandez, who likewise has played four full seasons in the majors. Hernandez also avoided arbitration with a $78 million, five-year deal with the Mariners this offseason. Verlander, 65-43 in his career with a 3.92 ERA, turns 27 this month. Hernandez, who is 58-41 with a 3.45 ERA, will be 24 in April.
