Yankees purchased the contract of C Chad Moeller from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles have offered backup catcher Chad Moeller a minor league contract.

The O's declined Moeller's $850,000 option for 2010 on Thursday to clear room on the 40-man roster, but made it clear to him that they want him back. He plans to scout the open market before considering Baltimore's offer. "I'm going to look to see what options are available," said Moeller, "and if there is nothing better as far as a guaranteed major league job, I'll probably be back."

The Orioles won't know until Wednesday if Chad Moeller has cleared waivers.

Because the transaction was made before MLB's offices closed on Friday, the O's will have to wait, with bated breath, no doubt, to learn his fate. If he clears, he's expected to land with Triple-A Norfolk.
