LAKELAND, Fla. — Matt Moore’s mind isn’t just on spring training.
He traveled to Tampa, where his wife his due to give birth any day now, then returned to Lakeland for the Detroit Tigers’ first workout.
“Everything’s OK,” the 29-year-old left-hander said Wednesday. “It’s our first baby.”
An All-Star with Tampa Bay in 2013, Moore was 3-8 with a 6.79 ERA last year in 12 starts and 27 relief appearances for Texas, a season after going 6-15 for San Francisco.
