Matthew Boyd Agrees With Tigers
2 years agoThe Detroit Tigers and left-hander Matthew Boyd agreed to a deal on Thursday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the deal. MLB Network's Jon Heyman is reporting that the deal is for $10 million-plus. The 31-year-old southpaw spent seven seasons with the Tigers from 2015 to 2021 and returns to a team looking to overhaul its pitching staff under new president Scott Harris. Boyd signed with the San Francisco Giants in 2022 and was traded to the Seattle Mariners in early August. He made just 10 relief appearances (13 1/3 innings) but was great with a 1.35 ERA, 13 strikeouts and eight walks for the M's. Boyd didn't make his season debut until September due to injury, but when healthy, he could be an effective swing man for Detroit's pitching staff.
