It’s been seventeen years, but the Tigers have a Cy Young winner. As expected, Justin Verlander was the unanimous choice for the award and he took every first place vote. Jered Weaver came in second place, James Shields came in third and CC Sabathia was in fourth place. The last award of the season is the AL MVP on November 22 and it’ll be interesting to see if Verlander takes that home as well.
Sadly, it’s been 27 years. I don’t care so much about the Cy Young drought, but the World Series drought being the same length bugs me a bit.
