The Tigers are engaged in talks with Matt Moore and could be headed toward a one-year deal with the left-hander, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
The deal is expected to be worth between $2.5 million and $3 million guaranteed, plus incentives, once finalized, according to the sources.
Moore, an eight-year veteran, went 3-8 with 6.79 ERA in 39 games (12 starts) this past season for the Rangers.
Paul Goldschmidt is perhaps the biggest name caught up in trade rumors in an offseason that already has seen left-hander James Paxton move from the Mariners to the Yankees.
