It’s been a good few days on a couple of fronts for Cardinals reliever Andrew Miller.
First, as a players’ association representative serving on the association’s executive committee, he had a hand in helping forge an agreement with the owners that guaranteed the players service time no matter if the coronavirus-influenced stoppage of baseball continues for a whole season and one that will pay them a total of $170 million over the next two months. And the mysterious arm/hand ailment that limited Miller to one game before spring training was halted is becoming less mysterious.
First, the agreement, ratified by the players on Thursday night and Friday by the owners:
“It’s a deal that’s nice to have struck so there’s a lot less uncertainty for both sides,” Miller told the Post-Dispatch.
