DETROIT (AP) -- Max Scherzer agreed to a one-year contract that leaves his future with the Detroit Tigers as uncertain as ever.
The AL Cy Young Award winner's deal for 2014 is worth $15,525,000, and it enables Scherzer and the Tigers to avoid arbitration with the right-hander's free agency still looming less than a year away.
Scherzer could have an even bigger payday coming soon - one way or another. He is eligible to go on the market after the season, although the Tigers would love to sign a long-term contract with him.
