Left-hander Matt Moore has agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers, according to multiple reports.

The deal is expected to pay Moore between $2.5 million to $3 million, according to MLB.com, which first reported the sides were nearing a deal.

Moore, 29, went 3-8 with a 6.79 ERA for the Texas Rangers last season, making 39 appearances, including 12 starts. The Rangers had acquired in him in an offseason trade with the San Francisco Giants.

He was an All-Star with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013 when he went 17-4 with a 3.29 ERA but had Tommy John surgery in 2014 and missed most of the 2014 and '15 seasons. The Rays traded Moore to the Giants during the 2016 season. He tied for the National League lead with 15 losses in 2017.

He is 54-56 with a 4.56 ERA in eight major league seasons.
