Detroit — The likelihood of a Matthew Boyd reunion in Detroit grew infinitely stronger the day Scott Harris was hired as the Tigers president of baseball operations.
It was Harris, then with the Giants, who signed Boyd last offseason for $5.5 million, even though Boyd was coming off flexor tendon surgery and wasn’t going to be available until later in the summer.
Well, that reunion has come to pass.
Sources confirmed to The Detroit News on Thursday morning that Boyd and the Tigers agreed to a one-year deal worth $10 million and incentives. Boyd will be back in the rotation that he anchored for the better part of six seasons (2016-2021).
