Detroit Tigers News: Matt Boyd is programmed to do this

We forget about Matt Boyd a little bit sometimes. Am I wrong? Is Boyd somewhat underappreciated? He’s certainly a bit frustrating in that for three straight seasons he’s gone on some nice tears, but also goes wrong for months at a time. But he was never supposed to be the key piece of the David Price trade. Yet he’s been durable and effective now for parts of four seasons, and still won’t reach free agency until after the 2022 season. He’s only 27 years old now, and probably right at the beginning of his prime.
