Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer has been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for two minor league pitchers.
General manager Bill Bavasi, who is with the Mariners in Anaheim, announced the trade during the third inning on Saturday.
Moyer, 43, has been with the Mariners since coming over from the Boston Red Sox in a midseason trade in 1996. He has a 145-87 record with Seattle and is 6-12 with a 4.39 ERA this season. As a player who has played 10 years (or more) in the majors and at least five years with the same team, Moyer had the right to veto the trade.
A side note: Moyer was born in Sellersville, Penn., attended high school and college there.
The Phillies, despite being two games under .500, have crawled back into contention for the NL wild card. They trail the Cincinnati Reds by 2 1/2 games.
The two pitchers the Mariners got – Andrew Baldwin and Andrew Barb – are in Class A. Baldwin, at Clearwater, pitched in 27 games (20 starts), going 8-8 with a 4.04 ERA. In 147 innings, he struck out 100. Barb, at Lakewood, is a reliever who had 18 saves, a 6-2 record, 2.23 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings.
