Veteran left-hander Wade Miley agreed Monday to a one-year, $8.5 million deal to return to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Miley, 37, was with the Brewers in 2018, then returned to Milwaukee last season on a one-year, $4.5 million deal. He was 9-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 starts last season.
The new deal will pay Miley $7 million in 2024, with a $1.5 million buyout on a $12 million mutual option for 2025.
An All-Star in 2012 as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miley is 108-98 in 13 major league seasons and has a 4.06 ERA in 315 appearances (308 starts) for the Diamondbacks (2011-14), Boston Red Sox (2015), Seattle Mariners (2016), Baltimore Orioles (2016), Houston Astros (2019), Cincinnati Reds (2020-21), Chicago Cubs (2022) and Brewers.
Miley also finished second in the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year voting when he was 16-11 with a 3.33 ERA in 32 appearances (29 starts) for Arizona.
The Brewers also signed right-handed reliever Joe Ross to a major league deal, multiple outlets reported. Ross, 30, did not pitch in the major leagues last season after undergoing his second Tommy John surgery.
In six major league seasons, all with the Washington Nationals going back to 2015, Ross is 26-28 with a 4.26 ERA in 98 appearances (76 starts).
