Moya signed a one-year contract with the Chunichi Dragons of the Nippon Professional Baseball League in Japan, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.
Moya spent the entire 2017 season in the minor leagues within the Detroit organization, slashing just .166/.222/.344 during 46 games in Triple-A. He played in 31 big-league games in 2016, but wasn't able to make enough of an impression to warrant any more playing time in the majors.
Moya (oblique) is back in action for Triple-A Toledo. He is hitting .169/.213/.359 with seven home runs and 57 strikeouts in 142 at-bats.
Moya, who cleared waivers at the end of spring training, used to be the definition of a Quadruple-A player, and now he is not even hitting at Triple-A. He does not figure to contribute in the big leagues anytime soon.
Moya is on the 7-day DL at Triple-A Toledo with a left oblique strain.
After clearing waivers before the season, it's safe to say the 25-year-old power hitter's prospect stock has cratered. He was hitting .161/.196/.355 with five home runs and a horrendous 38:4 K:BB in 93 at-bats.
Moya cleared waivers Friday and will likely be sent to Triple-A Toledo, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Moya seems to be on track to return to his 2016 role, serving as organizational depth for the Tigers' outfield. The lefty hit .284/.310/.501 with 20 home runs in Triple-A last season, but failed to truly transfer that success to the major league level in various opportunities. After a dismal spring (.192/.208/.288) dampened any prospects of a roster spot, it seems Moya will once again be destined for an organizational depth role in 2017.
