Max Scherzer met with Dave Dombrowski earlier this week to clear up some disagreements over contract talks that played out in the media.

The Detroit Tigers won't discuss an extension with Scherzer until next offseason. The club made an announcement on Sunday that the right-hander had rejected an offer.

"We talked about how things were handled," Scherzer said. "He said he regretted kind of how things went down, how things were depicted. He told me he wanted to make sure that he conveyed to fans that he was doing his job and could see how some things were putting me in a negative context. That's wasn't his intent, but that's just how it came across, and he apologized for that."
