Andrew Miller and the Cardinals were working to complete a multi-year deal Thursday night, multiple sources told the Post-Dispatch. A deal is expected to be for two years with a potential third year, and its specifics could be finalized in the comings days, possibly as early as Friday.
Miller, 33, is a two-time All-Star and the elite lefthanded reliever the Cardinals have chased this winter to fix the bullpen. He was limited to 37 appearances and 34 innings this past season due to a series of injuries that put him on the disabled list. Any agreement the Cardinals have with the lefty will not be finalized without the results of a physical, and the Cardinals must also create a spot on the 40-man roster with another, corresponding move.
