MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers have declined the $3 million 2023 team option on right-handed reliever Brad Boxberger and have claimed right-hander Tyson Miller off waivers from the Texas Rangers.
By declining the team option on Boxberger, the Brewers now must pay him a $750,000 buyout instead.
Boxberger, 34, went 4-3 with a 2.95 ERA, 68 strikeouts and 27 walks in 64 innings this season. He was 5-4 with a 3.34 ERA, 83 strikeouts and 25 walks in 64u2154 innings for the Brewers in 2021.
He made 70 appearances this season and 71 in 2021 to lead the Brewers in that category both years.
