LAS VEGAS — In a thin free-agent market for high-end lefty relievers, Andrew Miller stands virtually alone to the Mets.
Despite a 2018 season below his standards, Miller checks the boxes as somebody with a dependable track record who can be trusted in high-leverage situations and won’t be limited to a lefty specialist’s role.

But there is also a sense within the industry that 33-year-old Miller has been overused in recent seasons, and his 2018 numbers should serve as a warning sign: In only 37 appearances for the Indians because of shoulder, knee and hamstring injuries, Miller went 2-4 with a 4.
