Report: Jamie Moyer Signs With the Blue Jays

According to Shannon Drayer of ESPN Radio 710 in Seattle, Jamie Moyerhas signed with the Blue Jays and

will report to their Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma.  This was according to a tweet from Drayer in which he made it clear the news was not official.

Moyer was released by the Orioles after pitching in three games for Norfolk.  Moyer is looking for another shot at the big leagues and it didn’t seem he would get that opportunity anytime soon with the Orioles.

While it seems Moyer will start with the Blue Jays Triple-A team, Toronto must have offered a more concrete chance of pitching in the Majors.  Moyer last pitched in the Bigs on May 27th with the Rockies.

Moyer was 2-5 with a 5.70 ERA.  He became to oldest pitcher to win a Major League game earlier this season against the Padres.  In his career, Moyer is 269-209 with a 4.25 ERA.  He is 49 years old, and if he does in fact sign with the Blue Jays, it will be his ninth Major League team.
