That AI is bad news.

I was trying to make a response for or against Miller.  But in seriousness no to Miller with no options for their team control.  And no in that there's just no trade between these two that benefits either side for 2024.  We don't pair up.

As for Miller, it's maybe time to put overhyped on them. After A+ball, their numbers are that of a #4. Statcast shows his heat map being one filled with pitches middle middle. It's not poor luck. It's setting a ball on a tee and hoping the batter doesn't make contact.  The only pitch of 5 that isn't middle-middle is his sinker. Which they throw the least.

127 MLB pitchers threw at least 100 IP in 2023. Miller came in at...

124.1 IP (96th) | 79 FIP- (13th) | 83 WHIP+ (13th) | 71 HR9+ (14th) | 90 AVG+ (20th) | 73 BB%+ (25th) | 110 GB%+ (27th) | 88 ERA- (47th) | 2.8 fWAR (34th) | 2.7 rWAR (50th)

That's a little better than a #4,

Id explore what would need to be added in an Adames for Bobby Miller deal now that Yelich is prob done for the year.

Adames is gone come November anyway so this isn’t a Hader situation.   
 

Maybe adding some relief help or a playoff bat like Hoskins with us taking back some salary would be appealing to LAD.

Hoskins has like 25 million guaranteed dollars remaining on his contract. Because of that his trade value is less than zero. 
 

Adames doesn’t bring back much in terms of talent either. Defensive short stops are a dime a dozen. Thus what is a team really going to pay to get Adames bat for 60 games? It is probably way less than any of us think (a couple low level minor leaguers). Arguably whatever price that is it would not eclipse what Adames’ value is to Milwaukee over those last 60 games.
