Francoeur, 32, became eligible to be traded when he passed through revocable waivers earlier this month.
He is hitting just .249/.290/.381 with seven home runs and 33 RBIs in 276 plate appearances this season. In Miami, the 12-year journeyman will help man right right field with Giancarlo Stanton (groin) on the disabled list. The righthanded-hitting Francoeur will likely platoon with lefthanded-swinging Ichiro Suzuki.
The 24-year-old Moore, who can also play second base, is slashing .263/.377/.440 with 14 home runs, 59 RBIs and 40 stolen bases in Single-A this year. He was a seventh-round pick by the Rangers in the 2014 draft out of UCF.
