Most pitchers would be expected to miss the whole season after undergoing elbow reconstruction the previous October, but $200 million man Shelby Miller is no ordinary pitcher. He’s actually just a $2.5 million man at this point, but don’t try telling that to Dave Stewart, who quipped that the pitcher was worth as much money as Jason Heyward since the two were traded for one another in 2014.
That was roughly eleventy billion transactions and 12 organizations ago for Miller, who has pitched for the Cardinals, Braves, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Brewers, Cubs, Pirates, Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, Tigers, Diamondbacks again, Brewers again, and now the Cubs again.
