Detroit – What you notice first about Matthew Boyd, as he sat with his teammates at the Tiger Den inside Comerica Park Thursday, is there’s less of him.
Never has he seemed overweight or out of shape, typically carrying 230 pounds comfortably on his 6-3 frame. But clearly, he’s changed his body this winter. He is leaner – 15 pounds leaner, to be exact.
