Righty Shelby Miller has opted out of the 2020 season, the Brewers announced. He had been working out at the team’s alternative training site.
Miller, once an exciting young MLB hurler, has fallen on hard times on the mound of late. He has thrown only 82 innings in the majors over the past three seasons due to a combination of injuries and ineffectiveness.
The Brewers had inked Miller to a minor-league pact in hopes of unlocking some of his former promise. Now, we’ll have to wait and see whether Miller elects to mount another comeback attempt next spring.
Miller joins a still-growing list of players who have opted out of the campaign.
Darn
Oh well.
All of the hitters are upset by this decision.
Haha so true
Yeah, now who can they find with an ERA under 8?
Plenty of 8’s + in the Boston rotation!
More likely, MLB opted out of Shelby Miller!
In Soviet Russia, baseball opts out of you!
Yuk, yuk, yuk!
Ha!
Hhah. That was a good one Scott.
I didn’t realize he was still in baseball.
he opted out after leaving the Braves
He didn’t leave the Braves the Braves kicked him off their team because he was so bad!!!
He was actually quite good with the Braves.
He was actually looking pretty decent in camp. Hopefully he comes back .I think he will rebound with another team. As far as the Brewers I think its time to give Supak , Ashby, Barker, Brown and Bickford as the possible next call ups
The headline should have read….”Hey, it’s me Shelby Miller. Over here! Remember me? I still exist.”
If you can throw 95, you still got a chance. Someone will have the answer.
Interesting thing is, even if he never throws another pitch professionally in his life, he’s accomplished more than every one of these posters cracking jokes about him.
