according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman on Tuesday.

The deal's specifics were kept confidential.

The 32-year-old righty had a few successful seasons as a starter early in his career, but since 2015,

he hasn't managed to maintain an ERA below 4.00.

He only pitched seven innings out of the Giants' bullpen in 2022, compiling a dismal 6.43 ERA.

Although Miller has already joined the Dodgers, it is unclear what role he will play there.

Despite this, Miller now has essentially no fantasy worth.
