Impact A free agent, Miley underwent a hybrid UCL repair on his left elbow in May. The left-hander is 38 years old but wants to continue his career and hopes he can make it back to a major-league mound just 12 months or less post-surgery. Miley said his shoulder and the UCL part of his elbow feel "amazing," but he has bone spurs in the back of his elbow that he's "not recovering from great right now." The southpaw hopes to re-sign with the Brewers, but if that isn't in the cards he plans to be selective about where he pitches because he has two young children.

Wade Miley's $12 million mutual option with Brewers declined and he becomes free agent

Pitcher Wade Miley’s $12 million mutual option with the Milwaukee Brewers for 2025 was declined, causing the left-hander to get a $1.5 million buyout and become a free agent

OCTOBER 31, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Milwaukee declines option The Brewers declined Miley's (elbow) $12 million mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Miley only pitched in two games for the Brewers before suffering an elbow injury in April that required him to undergo season-ending surgery. The procedure he received was designed to allow for a quicker recovery compared to a typical Tommy John surgery, though he likely won't be able to pitch until a month or two into the 2025 campaign. Due to turn 38 years old in November, it's unclear if Miley will pursue another contract in free agency or opt for retirement.

Impact Miley's surgery was overseen by Dr. Timothy Kremchek, who previously performed the same hybrid procedure on the veteran southpaw's former teammate, Justin Wilson, in 2022. Kremchek relayed that he was "super happy" with how Miley's UCL procedure went, creating optimism that the 37-year-old could make a full recovery in as few as 10-to-12 months, well ahead of the 12-to-18-month recovery timeline that Tommy John surgery typically entails. The elbow surgery was the first of Miley's career, though he acknowledged that the ligament damage in his pitching arm had been bothering him for years. Though Miley is hopeful to resume throwing bullpen sessions and facing hitters by next spring before making his 2025 debut at some point in late April or early May, it's unclear if he'll be doing so in a Brewers uniform. His contract contains a $12 million mutual option and $1.5 million buyout for 2025.
