Are You Open To The Tigers Bringing Back Justin Verlander? | The Valenti Show with Rico

all right and respectfully Jeremy utto we love you but I don't need three minutes on Caitlyn Clark's basketball okay you're killing me Jeremy you're killing me well maybe people want to hear about Caitlyn I that's fine but he did he damn near held a press conference about a Wilson basketball Jeremy she also pushed game seven back so you know she's cuz hockey is not in a good way right now so listen I felt so bad for you kitty I didn't not after that Kenny Holland segment now now I hope your games are on tape delay like the NBA in the 70s now David I have been promised something the three of you have said you had ABS you had something absurd that rer said that you wanted to run by me and our audience here at 5:00 so uh the floor is yours I am happy to listen I think it comes from an article from uh Evan petzel Detroit Free Press and talking with Justin Verlander they asked the question you know maybe reuniting back with the Tigers Justin said obviously I think about it you can come back here and obviously it has to be on your mind but as far as signing with the Tigers and coming back that's fate I don't know that's something that's out of my control it's an unanswerable question Justin is saying that basically basically he would wouldn't mind coming back if Detroit would work out a deal he would come back to the Tigers he's 50 understand but he's one of your own that you let get away and you saw him Prosper with Houston and now you can you know you got people who argue what hat he's going to wear in the Hall of Fame if you're a Tigers fan would you want to see Justin come back home you don't need pitching but it's Justin Verlander he's one of your own and he's saying if you can work it out I'll come back this is what I've waited for th this this is what's in my Christmas stocking this the possib of getting a Hall of Famer Justin Verlander back in the old English D this team won't rub two nickels together and you want to go out and get a guy who didn't he just sign two years and like 86 million or something absurd mhm uh okay all right fine you want to tell me Houston's going to burn it to the ground you want me to tell you everybody but Kyle Tucker will get dealt okay I might I might live with this but let me get this straight a team that has no need for pitching much less a guy who's 5,000 years old you are correct and who makes a ton of money yep you want me to then go trade prospects to get said old person who I don't need nor care about because I'm not not 12 years old and feelings ain't got nothing to do with business and you want me on my radio show to sit here with you and talk about bringing Justin Verlander back to the D go to hell respectfully what am I rer did this as a radio topic yeah we uh we were talking last night after his show and he was just like yeah you know I did this show I was like really I was like people really respond he's like people responded like good respond right now and they were like I was like what did they say no he's like no they wanted him to come back I was like why would you want him to come back you don't need pitching the Astros would have to pay 75% of his salary like it's a nonstarter if they don't pay basically all of it it's the team the team is just basically treading water it's the Nostalgia it's Justin Verlander back in Detroit and that's what the people wanted to all right let's go to someone who's decently gullible who lets feelings get in the way of quality work let's go to the man in a Pine Knob t-shirt let's go to Kenny cot Kenny justed for the third segment in a row terrific well you lied to us about Ken Holland you deserve that listen Verlander's your youth Verlander provided you with some of the Great Moments of your life that don't involve lunch meat or weed so help me understand you you don't subscribe to this do you all of these memories happened before I was was old enough to drink no I don't that happened forever ago okay and that's in the past he's 100 we don't need pitching we'd rather spend assets on hitting is there anything else that I'm missing here no no Kenny that's why I can't believe all right first of all I have no problem they ask Verlander the question and I understand he's got a no trade list I've heard that that that whole rumor that the tigers are one of the teams he'd be willing to go to superb I don't care can someone give me one real reason why we would engage in this we're sitting here begging this team to get a bat and you want me to trade for Jack Palance age 87 years old the hell are we doing 248 539 9797 Tigers fans would you want Justin Verlander back it's just that simple I cuz I I had the conversation I'm like Jeff you don't need pitching but he was saying he said that people wanted that they just wanted him back you know what it is so that he could retire a tiger it's every reason why I just think there's a real lack of big-time Baseball fans here this is nothing more than Good Times theater for these people oh my God I got to go see miggy's farewell tour the only people who had more of a farewell tour than Miggy are kiss they've had 38 of them and you people still rolled out there and you had moms of three wearing little crowns at the game I mean honestly and Verlander here now you know the next time I want to see him in a tiger hat Cooper's town I have no need for this I think it's complete buffery I guess they figure that that means that he will wear a tiger's hat if he comes back here because of that whole what does it matter always have your memories even if he goes in without the hat or not doesn't matter com back you get to say farewell to him very much like you did Miggy and say you know what we love you you're one of us goodbye I hate everyone I'm trying to be nice but I'm sorry you're an idiot if you really want launched a radio topic and it worked on this type of nonsense I tell you H have Costa yell at me again about my take about this town when it comes to baseball and the the affair with this team there is some kind of DeMent obssession romance thing with this baseball team that by the way they never make the playoffs they hav't one a championship in 40 years uh right now we're begging them to go out and and show me you care and you still find the Nostalgia button no way because you have nothing right now so you know what you might as well relive the glory I give this a 0.0% chance zero so I I I refuse but if you want to talk to these people and you want to sell me this pen go ahead my problem is Rico even if they needed pitching he's not a Target first of all again the Astros would have to pick up nearly all of his deal second of all what am I giving up for this geriatric wonder and that was the other thing that I said rer may as well go trade for Charlie Huff right you're already struggling with you know everyday players unless you're going to give up some of your pitching staff but if that's the case why would you give up younger pitchers for him just so you can what he can retire a tiger and what's the point I'd be trading flarity because he's not signed and and now this no D David what do tickx have to say I feel like I'm taking crazy pills JV equals World Series site no on JV we need hitting someone says yes 100% only if we can get two big bats to with the trade otherwise I don't want the deal someone else here says I hear fren's back is better I think we should go give him yeah and Mar and HOSA fixed his skin allergy or whatever to hockey pads let's go get him again I'll tell you why you should bring Verlander back and it's about baseball reasons trade scoo and get a hold of hitters and then bring Verlander back for peanuts it's that won't be for peanuts yeah you would need Houston to pick look if Houston truly is going to melt this thing down and they're going to trade everybody not named Kyle Tucker guys I mean you come on or you can have a hobby if you're gonna dream dream big I do this if they take 75% of the salary otherwise no no no where does he even pitch seriously and and this was a real thing there were people who actually advocated for this and wanted this he swore up and down he was like man people wanted that I'm like Jeff doesn't make any sense he's like no people want Verlander back in this city they you know he's he's a tiger they want him to be retire retire very similar to the whole you're telling me you're telling me you're not a serious baseball fan when does this cease being a play thing and start being fun and real when do people start seeing the picture clearly last I checked if that parking lot's full uh your kids don't get the money it doesn't go to their College fun like it it what is the benefit if they're not winning to us as people as fans as customers nothing right there's no benefit for us why do you subscribe to this this Carnival act every time that stadium was full for Cabrera I got so mad and this is exactly that type of thing it is and I just it's why I just don't think we have enough serious people in this town imagine if he's imagine he comes back he's here and he retires next season I don't you know what though sadly every start people are going to be out there exactly it would I would be enraged I really would I think I would absolutely be furious I mean but just every but then again I'd be happy because then I could verbally body slam Costa again because it would prove my point we are not serious people in this town oh but if we win they'll arrive okay I'm not mad people don't go I'm mad that people don't get more upset I'm mad that I don't feel like we have a serious owner I'm mad that the team doesn't seem like feel like they're trying and I think people are either okay with or apathetic about it but this Verlander thing I don't care if we're on his his I'm okay going there list yeah but I mean it's also Justin Verlander represents the good times that you had unless you're bringing the actual Good Times back I don't want it right if your team is just going to be Christ why don't you take the B mug out of O Good's hand and put him between the pipes again if we're just doing retro theater someone says cartan Ben and Rasheed and see if they're what they're up to right someone I tell you what go get the uh the icy hot call Elden Campbell The Shack stopper yeah roll them back out on the floor you could smell Elden Campbell 20 ft away I got you elen Campell you could smell him four five rows behind the bench if you had that on your bingo card you win 2 485 3997 97 Rico take him to church
