Justin Verlander is on his way to Houston soon, but before he leaves, he left behind a message for Tigers fans.

"Last night I was given 45 minutes to make the hardest decision of my life" the former Tigers pitcher said in an Instagram video.

 

 

The Tigers traded Verlander to the Astros at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday night, kicking a rebuild process into high gear. They acquired three prospects in return.
