Detroit Tigers Should Trade for Matt Moore

The Detroit Tigers need starting pitching help, and Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore may be the answer. The former All Star missed most of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery, but seems to be in the clear after making 12 starts in 2015.

The results weren’t pretty last year. Moore entered the season with a career 3.53 ERA and 339 strikeouts in 347 innings pitched, but struggled for new Rays’ manager Kevin Cash. Moore posted a 5.43 ERA in 63 innings. He won only three of his 12 starts and allowed 40 runs on 74 hits.
