The Detroit Tigers have made re-signing Victor Martinez their top priority this offseason.

Martinez is a free agent after declining Detroit's qualifying offer.

"We like Victor. We hope he remains with us," Dave Dombrowski said. "We'll see what happens."

Dombrowski sounded less optimistic about re-signing Max Scherzer.

"People are aware that we like Max. He did a great job for us," Dombrowski said. "We made a real strong effort to sign him this past year, and now we're really more in a whole waiting mode. From their perspective, I'm sure they're going to check with the situation on the market."
