Dodgers Acquire Tyson Miller From Brewers

By Darragh McDonald | July 12, 2023 at 2:30pm CDT

The Dodgers announced that they have acquired right-hander Tyson Miller from the Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. The righty had been designated for assignment by Milwaukee on the weekend. To open a spot on their 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred righty Daniel Hudson to the 60-day injured list.

Miller, 28 later this month, has been with the Brewers since being claimed off waivers from the Rangers in November. He has spent this year as an up-and-down depth arm, getting frequently optioned to Triple-A and recalled as needed. He has thrown 9 1/3 innings in the majors with a 5.79 ERA in that small sample. In 25 2/3 Triple-A innings, he has a 3.86 ERA, striking out 24.5% of hitters while walking 9.1% of them and getting grounders on 45.7% of balls in play.

He’s also seen some brief time in the majors with the Cubs and Rangers in previous seasons, currently sporting a 7.92 ERA over 25 career innings. His 4.75 ERA in 225 1/3 Triple-A innings might not excite much either, but he’s struck out 25.1% of hitters at that level and the Dodgers will surely try to coax more of that out of him going forward. He is in his final option year here in 2023, allowing the club to potentially keep him in the minors for the next few months but he’ll be out of options next year. But he has less than a year of service time and won’t be able to get to that one-year mark, meaning he could stick with the Dodgers for another six seasons if he can take a step forward.

The Dodgers essentially had a roster spot to burn as Hudson suffered an MCL sprain last week that’s going to keep him out of action for significant time. This transfer means he’ll be officially ineligible to return until 60 days from that initial IL placement, which would be early September. They’ve used Hudson’s roster spot and a bit of cash to add Miller to the system for a bit more depth on a club that’s dealt with a number of injuries this year, with 12 different pitchers currently on the IL.

    Getting a pitcher from the Brewers is like buying a dump truck from a landscaper…it’s all used up

      But it sure looks better than picking up Mike Mayar from the Royals.

        Brewers usually know when to move on from pitchers or take their chances. As a huge fan, the one thing that’s constant is getting every ounce out of their staff. Majority of the time it works. This guy, as well as Matt bush, were let go for a reason. Neither has anything left to contribute at the big league level. We are always quick to pick up waiver ‘scrap heaps’ala hoby Milner or bryse Wilson if we feel they have something left and can turn a corner. They obviously saw that Miller was never going to be that guy. Just wish we could make contact.

          Not that they have an impeccable record, but the Dodgers do seem to find something and fix some of these so called dumpster dive pick-ups. Didn’t Jimmy Nelson come from the brewers? (yes he is injured the majority of time, but he’s had some big moments in LA)

          In three seasons with the Dodgers he’s thrown a grand total of 29 innings, all of them two years ago. Hard to see what was fixed for Nelson unless it was his boat payments.

    It’s a short term fix until the trading deadline. Cash considerations is always nice for a team like Milwaukee

      They were going to release him with no payment. Now they can feed Hank XV a better grade of dogfood.

    Is the middle of July really a good time to burn a roster spot?

      I don’t think burn is the right word. There’s no reason to have a spot empty at any point in the season

      Do you really think Tyson Miller is going to stop them from acquiring someone of substance?

      If not… what’s the problem with adding an arm that can miss bats, for cash?

        Of course not, though I question whether Tyson Miller really has that arm. I was just commenting on the language in the article. We can only hope he’ll be gone in two weeks without having thrown any pitches in close games.

        BTW, trivia time. Has any other team ever had three pitchers named Miller on the roster?

      They will just DFA him once they need the spot.

      Or DFA Syndergaard

    Anybody actually know what typically the amount of cash is in a transaction like this? Just curious. I assume its thousands of dollars, but is it tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

      I’m certainly no expert, but I’d guess LA took on the remaining salary he was due this year.

        Cash considerations usually means they sent some dollars for him, in addition to being responsible for his remaining salary (which should be league minimum considering his service time).

    Are the Dodgers just trying to save money on jerseys? They replaced Daniel Hudson with a different Hudson and now they are replacing Shelby Miller with a new Miller. Now they should go find a new May.
