Brewers Video
Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote a great piece about Wade Miley and his return from Tommy John surgery.
Miley's recent run with the Brewers has been a story of declined options. Upon returning to Milwaukee for the 2023 season, he pitched incredibly well, posting a 3.14 ERA over 120 innings. He declined his 2024 option before returning to the Brewers on a $7 million deal. He only made two starts before suffering an injury in an April 16th game. He later underwent surgery.
There are several great quotes from Miley in the article above, I highly suggest reading it. To boil it down, Miley wants to come back and pitch as early as May 2025, just 12-13 months after undergoing surgery. He believes that given his age, pushing the return date forward aggressively is possible due to the fact Miley only wants one or two more years out of his left arm before he retires; long term health isn't a factor.
As for where he wants to pitch, he gave this outstanding quote:
Quote“I’m not going to just sign anywhere,” Miley said. “I’m not doing that to my family. If I could draw it up, I would sign back in the Central (Division), preferably wearing blue. Dark blue.”
