Angels Release Ryan Miller

By Anthony Franco | November 13, 2024 at 12:40pm CDT

November 13: Miller has been released by the Angels, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

November 7: The Angels designated righty reliever Ryan Miller for assignment, tweets Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. That’s the associated 40-man roster move for the Kyle Hendricks signing.

Miller, 28, earned his first major league call in August. He made 13 appearances late in the year. Miller gave up seven runs (six earned) while striking out 11 and issuing eight walks across 13 innings. The Clemson product showed a fairly typical sinker-slider combination, averaging just under 94 MPH on the fastball. While he didn’t miss many bats in his brief MLB look, he’s coming off a nice year in Triple-A. Miller tossed 62 1/3 innings of 2.45 ERA ball in Salt Lake. He struck out around a quarter of opponents while keeping his walks to a tidy 5.6% clip.

The Halos acquired Miller last offseason, grabbing him from the Red Sox in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft. They have five days to explore trade possibilities but are likelier to try to run him through outright waivers.

    Bizzare. Picks him in ’23 Rule V and he has a good promotion year in AAA with very limited MLB time. Now they drop him for Hendricks. Angels could’ve added him to the Canning-Soler trade a week ago in exchange for a non-40 man lottery ticket.

      @YBC. Yeah I’m not mad about the canning-soler trade. Canning had plenty of chances and couldn’t get better. I’m more perplexed about letting fulmer go for Hendricks. Feel like he was fine at that 5-6 starter role, and most likely the same price.

    Always love seeing guys like him finally get to live their MLB dream.

    Kind of surprised at this. His AAA numbers this year were nice.

        Suarez is a head scratcher for sure.

      Why give up on Suarez? I know that teams often have used him as batting practice in Real games,but they think they’ve corrected him by making him use his fastball more. His slider can be a wipe out pitch. Just ask the Astros. He has and will continue to shut down their offense. They strike out often when he isn’t pitching on the edges of the strike zone. He is a low cost option with high potential upside that can oayoff. He has been humbled by being passed through waivers, and he finally started to listen and absorb what his pitching coaches have been telling him for years. If the Angels do decide to let him go, he would be a great reclamation project to pursue, especially a team like Tampa Bay and the Dodgers.

        Ultimately it comes down to Suarez has the ability to start (at least in theory) while Miller does not.

        At times Suarez has been useful but most of the time he has not. And he’s out of options so he requires a roster spot.

        Considering the way he ended 2024 I’m all for giving him a shot next Spring, but his leash has to be extremely short.

          AGREE 100%! A shock collar in addition to a short leash would be the ideal solution.

        Don’t forget Chris Fetter with the Tigers. He is also one of the pitcher whispers. Suarez, Detmers, head cases. Two strikes, and they dance around. This is where I believe a pickup like Travis d’Arnaud could do wonders for the pitching staff.

    Year in, year out…same story. I just don’t get these folks in the front office here. Had some very good teams and players over the years, not recently. Sad.

      A sub 3.00 ERA in the Pacific Coast League. Not easy to do. I don’t see him making it through waivers. Agreed, should have kept him.

    He’s most likely going to bounce around between AAA-MLB for the rest of his career so maybe he won’t ever amount to anything super valuable for a team. That said, the Angels are really bad now instead of just mediocre. They can afford to have some of these low risk journeyman arms around in case a few of them have a breakout. That’s how the Mariners built their bullpen a couple of years ago.

      The fact the Angels are a bad team with a clear path to a bullpen job should give them an edge in signing guys like Miller and giving them an invite to big league camp.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Miller is brought back.

    He had pretty good numbers at Triple A, someone will pick him up.

    Hendricks will win 20 games this year with a sub 2 ERA and a sub 1 whip. Said the man who went back in time 10 years.
