Quick Hits: Miller, Dodgers, D'Backs, Rays, Trades

Here are a few items of note as Justin Verlander narrowly misses his second no-hitter of the season:

• Red Sox lefty Andrew Miller, currently in Triple-A, will remain with Boston and not opt out of his contract, as we inferred earlier today. Now, we know why: Miller will likely soon be called up and added to the rotation, according to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe.
• With their financial future hazy, the Dodgers should take notes on how successful small-market teams like the Rays and Marlins operate, writes Tom Krasovic of West Coast Bias.
• The Diamondbacks have agreed to terms with seven more Draft picks -- bringing their total up to 30 of the 52 players they selected -- including third-rounder Justin Bianco, according to a club press release.
• The Rays signed second-round pick Granden Goetzman, writes Anthony Chiang of MLB.com.
• This season's relative league-wide parity has led to a slow-developing trade market, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com (via Twitter). An AL executive told Morosi, "Too many teams still in it."
