The Boston Red Sox finalized a $1.5 million, one year-year contract with free agent pitcher Wade Miller on Thursday, one day after completing a $25.5 million, three-year deal with right-hander Matt Clement.
Miller can earn an additional $3 million in bonuses based on innings and roster time.
"They were his first choice," said Miller's agent, Bob Garber. "They were very aggressive. They outworked the other teams."
Miller was 7-7 with a 3.35 ERA in 15 starts this year before going on the disabled list June 29 with a season-ending rotator cuff injury.
