by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/8/2013)Jamie Moyer threw out the first pitch before Monday's series opener between the Mariners and Astros in Seattle.
After making 10 starts for the Rockies and pitching in the minors for the Blue Jays and Orioles last season, the left-hander told the Seattle Timeshe has not ruled out returning to baseball.
“I haven’t closed that door yet,” Moyer said. “I don’t know when I would make a decision. I really haven’t put a lot of thought into it. I’m enjoying my time at home at this point. I’ve got a college senior playing baseball. A college freshman starting at Pepperdine, playing baseball. By the way, they beat U-Dub two out of three this weekend and he had the game-winning hit on Saturday in extra innings. I’m a proud dad, I was there to see it."
Moyer has a career 4.25 ERA in nearly 700 appearances in the majors, but the 50-year-old said he has not been working out towards a comeback.
“No,” he said. “I’ve just kind of let my body kind of amp itself down. I’ve played a little bit of golf. Not a lot. A little bit. And I’m just enjoying my time at home.”
Blue Jays grant Moyer release
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (7/5/2012) The Blue Jays released Jamie Moyer Thursday, after two minor-league starts in which he posted an 8.18 ERA for Triple-A Las Vegas. Moyer had a two-start guarantee for his minor-league deal, in which the team would have to make a decision on whether he would return to the majors, and it appears that the pitching-starved Blue Jays did not think he could help.
