I was sick of him and his stupid act (re: hamburger phone, ect...).

Never should've got that last extension.

Good riddance
It's just like Matt Carpenter. If he doesn't get that last extension, he leaves the organization with an entirely different taste in everyone's mouth.

Miles was fantastic in his first year with us in 2018 then between solid and good in 2019 (hurt for a couple years) and 2022-23. He's only been terrible the past two seasons.
I disagree, he was serviceable in 2023. But, unfortunately, his extension played out in 2024/2025. So, by 2024, he is perceived as a fading pitcher whom significant payroll was tied up on.
We aren't disagreeing. I included 2023 in my years of solid to good. "Terrible the past two seasons" were 2024 and 2025.

He wasn’t good in 2023

Between solid and good is what I said in describing 2019, 2022, and 2023. He was definitely solid in 2023. Pitched over 200 IP with 4.27 FIP.

League average quality for 200 IP pitchers don’t grow on trees.

Passable. But headed in the wrong direction. You wait until 2023 plays out and at most you might sign him on a 1 year innings eater contract.
