MLB fans left unimpressed with Dodgers' recent signing of Shelby Miller

The Los Angeles Dodgers came into this offseason with money to spend. After winning 111 games and being prematurely ousted in the National League Division Series, the Dodgers are expected to make serious moves to bolster their roster. They have expressed interest in Trea Turner, Carlos Correa and Aaron Judge.However, they've kickstarted their supposed spending spree with a bargain bin contract. According to Ken Rosenthal, they've reached an agreement with Shelby Miller, who most recently pitched for the San Francisco Giants.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalDodgers in agreement with free-agent right-hander Shelby Miller, pending physical, sources tell @TheAthletic.1969297Dodgers in agreement with free-agent right-hander Shelby Miller, pending physical, sources tell @TheAthletic.It's not a move that's going to move the needle much. The Dodgers don't necessarily need to continue adding top-tier talent to stay competitive, but depth is never a bad thing. However, MLB fans weren't impressed with this signing. With money to spend and a desire to make sure they don't fall short of the World Series again next season, a player like Miller does not do much for fan expectations.uscuscgo@uscuscgo@Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic I can’t believe after all the hype around FA, this is who the Dodgers signed.

I didn’t know Shelb was still in the bigs.Many were surprised to learn that Miller, the former Atlanta Braves star who was traded in a deal for top prospect Dansby Swanson, was still in the league.The Dodgers have a history of turning afterthought pitchers into stars, but when Justin Verlander, Jacob deGrom and Carlos Rodon are available, it's tough to be pleased with adding Miller.Los Angeles Dodgers' potential starting rotation next seasonThe Dodgers were bouyed by a wide variety of pitchers due to injuries and other factors. Their rotation next year should be very strong. Miller may not even slot in. He might end up in the bullpen simply due to a lack of space.Walker Buehler will return from injury and take his place atop the rotation. Julio Urias will probably fall in behind him. Longtime ace Clayton Kershaw will either be the third or fourth starter.Los Angeles v San Francisco GiantsAhead or behind him will likely be Tony Gonsolin, with Dustin May to occupy the fifth slot. If they sign Verlander, deGrom or Rodon, that likely pushes May or Gonsolin to the bullpen.Either way, Los Angeles has a dominant rotation and its entire staff just got a little bit deeper with the addition of Miller, especially if he can return to prominence.
