The future suddenly is uncertain for Phillies left-hander Jamie Moyer.
Right-hander Kyle Kendrick rates a clear edge over Moyer for the Phillies’ fifth-starter job, according to scouts following the team.
Moyer, 47, could end up in the bullpen, or perhaps even traded. He is unlikely to be released.
The Phillies owe Moyer $6.5 million this season, and perhaps another team would be willing to absorb a portion of that salary if he showed improvement later this spring.
Moyer, however, is coming off surgery to repair three torn tendons in his groin and lower abdomen, and his contract includes a limited no-trade clause that allows him to block deals to six clubs, no more than four in one league. — Ken Rosenthal
