Probably a NL West team keeping him away from SD. He has been rumored to go there since Alderson became team prez.

The report is that Moyer used his 10/5 rights to refuse a claim by the Yankees. This is after nixing a trade to Houston before the deadline.

Yeah, a friend of mine said he heard a report that Moyer said there was no way he'd play for the Yankees.

Right, because playing for the last place Mariners is AWESOME!

Eh, if he nixed the trade to the Yankees, he must prefer to play for the Mariners over the Yankees.
