March 23, 2013 - 3:30 PM ET

Justin Verlander said Saturday that he doesn't plan to hold any contract talks during the season with the Tigers.

The Tigers have expressed interest in signing Verlander to a multi-year extension, but will have to wait to reopen talks until after the season if they can't get a deal done by next week. Verlander, who turned 30 last month, is signed for $20 million this season and under contract through 2014.
