Rockies notes: Pomeranz says he's off the hook

Colorado Rockies pitcher Drew Pomeranz says he is no longer facing a misdemeanor disturbing the peace charge.

The left-hander was arrested on Oct. 14 in downtown Oxford, Miss., where he played college baseball for Ole Miss.

Pomeranz retweeted his sports agency, Beverly Hills Sports Council, on Friday, which announced on Twitter the charge had been dropped. He said in a text to The Associated Press Wednesday “all there really is to be said is on my twitter.” Pomeranz tweeted he was “focused on baseball & looking forward to” spring training.

Oxford Municipal Court would not confirm the charges had been dropped.

The 23-year-old Pomeranz made his major league debut in September. He was 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in four starts, striking out 13 and walking five in 18 1/3 innings.

Rockies invite Moyer to spring training

Pitcher Jamie Moyer, 49, has agreed to terms on a minor league contract with an invite to the Rockies’ spring training, pending a physical. The left-hander didn’t play last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow.

Moyer has played 24 major league seasons, starting with the Chicago Cubs in 1986. He went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA for Philadelphia in 2010. Moyer is 267-204 with a 4.24 career ERA.
