“Everyone is affected by this virus, and we look forward to contributing to affected families and jobs, frontline health workers and first responders, and many others who need essential items, medical supplies, and support at home.” Verlander wrote.
The pitcher reported that as soon as he receives his first MLB check he will highlight the first organization to which he will make the donation.
