Moya will likely open the season at Triple-A Toledo, MLive.com reports.
The addition of Yoenis Cespedes and Anthony Gose via trades this offseason has put the Tigers in a position where Moya would be pressed to serve as more than the team's fifth outfielder to begin the season. As a result, it's more likely that he'll be developed with everyday at-bats in the minors to begin the year, while Tyler Collins has the inside track to earn the final spot on the bench. Moya's plate discipline is still a work in progress, but he has excellent power and could be considered as an option to leapfrog Collins if injuries strike and the Tigers need a regular for one of the corner outfield spots.
