Andrew Miller and the Cardinals were working to complete a multi-year deal Thursday night, multiple sources told the Post-Dispatch. The two-year contract was finalized and announced Friday morning. The contract will guarantee Miller $25 million million and it includes a third year, for 2021, that will vest based on his appearances, two sources confirmed. He will be paid paid $11 million in each of the first two years of the deal, and it includes a buyout of $2.5 million for the vesting option.
Miller, 33, is a two-time All-Star and the elite lefthanded reliever the Cardinals have chased this winter to fix the bullpen.
