Andrew Miller signed with the St. Louis Cardinals for two years, $22 million with a third year vesting option on Dec. 21, 2018. The deal came days after the Winter Meetings ended in Las Vegas.
“It would be great to add some help,” Shildt said at the Winter Meetings on Dec. 14. “Especially with the lefties in our division, because every club has got some real thump and guys you have to plan for on the left side.”
Mike Girsch and John Mozeliak listened. Or, Shildt had an idea of the Cardinals recent contacts and didn’t want to spoil the surprise.
