Miller had been the only Mariners player not to agree before arbitration figures were exchanged. Miller, a Super Two player, filed at $2.625 million, with the Mariners coming in at $2.25 million. The option, which includes a $15,000 buyout, is for $6 million but is also voided if Miller finishes in the top five of the AL Cy Young voting, which is the kind of thing that would have to happen for Miller to approach $6 million in arbitration next year. It has no real chance of being applied and is only here because it keeps up appearances of the Mariners being a so-called "file and trial" team.
