Shelby Miller Signs $3.25M Contract with Detroit Tigers

Deal includes 2025 team option and performance bonuses, potentially worth up to $11M over two seasons.

Shelby Miller, a right-handed pitcher, has agreed to a $3.25 million, one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers, which includes a 2025 team option and performance bonuses that could make the deal worth up to $11 million over two seasons if he closes regularly.
Miller, 33, was 3-0 with one save and a 1.71 ERA in 35 relief appearances and one start for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
The Tigers are making a push to improve in what appears to be a winnable AL Central, having exercised outfielder Mark Canha’s $11.5 million option, and reached agreements with pitchers Jack Flaherty ($14 million for one year), Kenta Maeda ($24 million for two years) and Andrew Chafin ($4.75 million for one year).
Miller's option price can increase to $5.65 million based on his 2024 workload, and he can earn $1,175,000 annually in performance bonuses.
To make room for Miller, the Tigers designated catcher Donny Sands for assignment.
