[edit] Biographical Information
Pitcher Scott Eyre is the brother of Willie Eyre. After posting a 7.16 ERA in 19 appearances in 2008 with the Chicago Cubs he was designated for assignment and then traded in a waiver deal to the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league righty Brian Schlitter, who had a 4-3 record with a 2.22 ERA in 34 games for the Clearwater Threshers.
Scott Eyre decided to retire in January of 2010 rather than accept a minor league contract with the Phillies; he has not ruled out returning to the team if they offer a spot in the major league bullpen.
