Matthew Boyd won't be returning to the Detroit Tigers.
The organization plans to non-tender Boyd ahead of Tuesday's 8 p.m. deadline, meaning he will become a free agent, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press on Sunday night. He was projected to receive $7.3 million in his final year of salary arbitration.
Had Boyd not injured his elbow, a lot of things could be different.
He had flexor tendon surgery in late September, which is expected to keep him out until June or July.
