But that's for another time.
What matters to Verlander at the moment is helping a city in need. With Detroit in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, Verlander and his wife Kate Upton announced Friday they're donating masks, food and other vital supplies to those in need, particularly the Detroit Police Department.
"Just like everybody else, we've been reading a lot about this pandemic and are really heartbroken to hear what's been happening in Detroit, particularly with their police department, Verlander said. "These men and women are risking their lives out there on the front lines for us, and a lot of them have fallen ill because they don't have enough protective equipment, so we reached out to them to see how we can help."
Upton said the DPD asked for masks and touchless thermometers.
"I think one of the biggest things we can do to stop the spread of this virus is for as many people as possible to be masked, so officers will be distributing those masks to communities who can't afford or don't have access to get their own masks," said Verlander. "Hopefully that goes a long way in slowing the spread in Detroit."
Verlander added he and Upton will also be working with the Ford Motor Company Fund "to create programs in Detroit moving forward. So stay tuned for that."
In these uncertain times, it's nice to know Verlander still has our back.
