Report: Diamondbacks making Shelby Miller available via trade
One of the biggest names moved during the most recent MLB offseason is already available again.
The Diamondbacks have reportedly made pitcher Shelby Miller available in trade talks, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.
Sources: The Diamondbacks have let teams know Shelby Miller is available in a trade. Price isn't nearly what it cost them eight months ago.

The Miller trade has been nothing short of a disaster for Arizona. He’s just 2-9 with a 7.14 ERA, and has not come remotely close to the numbers he put up in both Atlanta and St. Louis. The Diamondbacks have been vague about what’s troubling him.
It’s unclear what Arizona could get back for Miller at this point. He’s a good buy low candidate, but the asking price may still be higher than what teams would pay. There’s no salvaging what a disaster it’s been for the Diamondbacks, though. The fact that the deal supposedly made another key acquisition unhappy is just icing on the cake.
