Right-hander Max Scherzer, after winning the AL Cy Young Award earlier in the week, said Friday he doesn't want to be traded by the Detroit Tigers.

Scherzer, speaking to MLB Network Radio, said he wants to remain with the team despite the chance to become a free agent with his contract expiring after the 2014 season.

"I don't want to be traded," Scherzer said. "I got a great thing going in Detroit, we have a great team. I hope they don't mess with it. I want to be a Detroit Tiger and hopefully get back to the playoffs and try to do the ultimate goal and win something for the city of Detroit."
