CBS DETROIT - Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski has remained noncommittal about the possibility of bringing back starting pitcher Max Scherzer, who won the Cy Young in 2013 and put up a similarly stellar season in 2014.

Since the end of the season, Dombrowski has said repeatedly that Detroit's odds of signing Scherzer declined precipitously when he became a free agent, but ESPN's Buster Olney reports the Tigers are still trying to keep Scherzer.

It makes sense that the Tigers want Scherzer to return. Their rotation - barring further moves - is solid for 2015, with Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez, David Price, Rick Porcello and Shane Greene. Porcello and Price become free agents following this season, however, meaning the Tigers face entering the 2016 season with only Verlander and Sanchez - both of whom struggled with injuries last season - and Greene, who has only a half a season of major league experience.
