Russ Ortiz, Jamie Moyer Article

If we were to trade for Moyer, there's no reason to give up anyone that's really that good. I mean, he's 41, probably on his last season, and playing for a crappy team. There's no reason that the Mariners would want to keep him b/c if they did they'd get nothing. So, I would think that they'd accept a couple of mid-level minor leaguers for Moyer since they'll be losing him probably anyway after this year. Of course, there's always a chance that they'd keep him out of respect for what he's done for them.

i definitely dont want to give up young talent for a 41 year old who's one injury away from retiring, and frankly he'll prolly retire next year anyway regardles........... (totally speculation)  but bottom line is young talent should not be given up for a 41 year old pitcher.

Moyer lives over here by me near South Bend.

 

 

I think playing in Chicago, closer to home, would make him reconsider retirement.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't a prospect not be traded until a year after he was signed?  Was Sweeney signed quickly or did it take a while in last year's draft?

What they would do is make it a ptbnl. The deal would then be finalized a year after Sweeney signed his contract (a few weeks after short season started last year) and then the Braves would announce the earlier deal with the White Sox has been completed as Ryan Sweeney has been shipped over.
