Rangers agree to contract with Brownwood's Shelby Miller to join starting rotation

The Rangers once seriously considered drafting Shelby Miller.

Nearly a decade later, they finally decided to sign him.

According to two sources, Miller, a right-hander who grew up in Brownwood, agreed to a one-year contract with Texas. The base deal is worth $2 million, but incentives could increase its worth up to $5 million, according to a source. He is expected to join the starting rotation.

Miller, 28, was 0-4 last year with Arizona as a starter and has struggled since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2017. According to a source, Miller has already passed a physical, which was the biggest remaining hurdle to finalizing the signing.
