Orioles Release Tejada and Moyer

In the span of three days, the Orioles released both Jamie Moyer and Miguel Tejada, both at the request of the players.  Roch Kubatko reported the Tejada release on his Twitter.  The team had announced the request and release of Moyer on Saturday.

Moyer was lighting it up in Triple-A Norfolk, posting a 1.69 ERA over three starts.  He had 16 strikeouts in 16 innings for the Orioles affiliate.

Miguel Tejada was not fairing quite as well in the minors.  Also playing for Triple-A Norfolk, Tejada had a slash line of .260/.327/.290.  He hit no home runs and drove in 18 runs in 35 games played.

Best of luck to the two of them as they look to continue their careers and make it back to the major leagues!
