Lakeland, Fla. – As if Matt Moore doesn’t have enough on his plate this spring, what with being on a new team, learning a new set of teammates, working with a new pitching coach and trying to win a spot in the Tigers’ rotation.
On top of that, his wife Anna was expecting to deliver their first baby within hours.
“Yeah, new team, new addition to the family – we’re excited,” Moore said.
Moore has been wearing out the I-4/I-275 freeway route between Lakeland and Tampa the last couple of days. He left the optional workout on Monday as Anna started having contractions.
