Veteran left-hander Jamie Moyer refused to be included in a trade to the Houston Astros on Saturday according to a published report on the Houston Chronicle's Web site. Moyer has the right under the collective bargaining agreement to block a trade to the Astros, and chose to do so. Moyer broke into the major leagues in 1986 and has a 201-148 record with a 4.16 ERA. Moyer is 9-3 this season with a 4.33 ERA in 21 starts, but sports a 6.79 ERA in 10 starts away from pitcher-friendly Safeco Field in Seattle. The Chronicle reported Astros GM Tim Purpura hasn't given up on a deal to find a pitcher to help in the rotation or the bullpen. "There could still be some minor or lesser situations that could clear," Purpura said.
