He then pitched for the Houston Astros in 1982 and the Toronto Blue Jays to round out his career in 1983. Moffit in his ninth season (1979) got easily exhausted, vomited frequently and lost close to 25 pounds. Doctors could not figure out what caused his sickness but one suggested that his problem was mental.
