The Detriot Tigers and J.D. Martinez are discussing a potential contract extension, the outfielder told MLive.com.

"It's definitely something we're still talking about," Martinez said. "It's something I think both sides are still interested in. We haven't come to something where we both feel comfortable yet. I love this team. I want to be part of this team. I would love to be a Tiger for life. We've just got to see how it goes."

The Tigers and Martinez currently have an unresolved arbitration case.
