After watching Corey Kluber get $11 million on a one-year deal from the Yankees, you had to immediately adjust your expectations when it came to what kind of pitchers we might see come to Chicago this offseason.
On Sunday, the Cubs inked former Cardinals first-rounder Shelby Miller to a non-guaranteed deal worth $875,000 should he make the big league team out of camp with an additional $600,000 in incentives. Calling this a buy-low move is generous, to say the least.
Miller, still only 30 years of age, did not pitch during the shortened 2020 campaign and has amassed a mere 82 innings at the big league level since 2018.
