Orioles grant release to 49-year-old Jamie Moyer

The Orioles were hoping that Jamie Moyer would make one more start in the minors before possibly joining the major league roster, but that won’t happen. The team just announced that Moyer asked for and was granted his release.

Moyer was released by the Rockies earlier this month after posting a miserable 5.70 ERA over 10 starts. The 49-year-old left-hander quickly latched on with the Orioles on a minor league deal and pitched well during his time with with Triple-A Norfolk, posting a 1.69 ERA and 16/0 K/BB ratio in 16 innings across three starts. However, the Orioles weren’t prepared to add him to the major league roster.

It’s not clear if Moyer has any leads with other teams, but if history is any indication, we shouldn’t count him out just yet.

Was doing work in the minors lol.

He'd probably get owned in the AL East anyways.

I think he should retire, I understand that it's hard to be away from the game, but who would want a 49-year-old?

He's been with 2 teams already this year and it's not even July

If he wants another shot, I think someone else will give it to him

He's just a gimmick, he's been terrible the last 3 years.

I never said it was a good idea to sign him, I just think someone will :iono:

 

[snipezo]

Jays just signed him I think lol. Alvarez the 3rd Jays SP to go down with an elbow injury.

 

[elcheato]

Why do people keep signing him?

Same for Dontrelle lol.

Could be just a AAA signing seeing how Jays called up half of AAA vegas' garbage starters. He'll probably get a chance once Romero pops his elbow though.
