Wade Miley never found his footing in Boston, nor was he given a chance to.
Acquired by the Red Sox from a trade with the Diamondbacks in 2014, the lefty was brought in as a cheap alternative to replace Jon Lester. Miley didn’t come close to a Lester alternative. In fact, he became a liability most of the time he took the mound.
Miley, 29 at the time, went 11-11 with a 4.46 ERA in a 193 innings pitched in 2015 for Boston. Despite his disappointing season in Boston, he did flash promise through stretches as a member of the Red Sox.
