Wade Miley hit the injured list with a neck strain and is likely done for the season. This raises a fair question, but one that should be answered quickly and without any doubt. Should the Cincinnati Reds pick up Miley’s team-option for the 2022 season? Yes!
While the Reds have a lot of difficult decisions to make in the coming months, this is not one of them. Miley has a $10M team-option for next season with a $1M buyout. Given the production that Cincinnati has received from Miley this season, it would be foolish to let the southpaw go.
