Moyer’s now got more releases (3) than major-league wins (2) this year.

At 49, that’s not a good thing. Or for that matter, at 39 or 29.

Moyer, who opened the season in the Rockies' rotation, has now been released by the Rockies, the Orioles, and the Blue Jays. Moyer seemed like a good fit with Toronto, as that club went through a stretch of losing starting pitchers like Spinal Tap loses drummers.

But Moyer started only twice for the Jays’ triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, and racked up an 8.18 ERA.
