LHP Wade Miley
The Orioles will buy out Miley’s $12 million option for $500,000 and will entertain the idea of bringing him back on a one-year deal. But, because he is left-handed, that makes no sense for Miley, who was 10-20 with a 5.75 ERA in 43 starts with the Orioles. Given the dearth of starters, especially durable left-handed starters, Miley, who turns 31 this month, will have some choices. My expectation is they will be incentive-laden one-year deals in the National League. And he and the Orioles will part ways. I’d be shocked if he is pitching for the Orioles in 2018.
