Seattle Mariners
Miller was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft, and made his MLB debut on June 28, 2013.
Miller hit his first grand slam on September 28 in a game in which he hit two home runs. Miller played shortstop for the Mariners in 2014.
In spring training in 2015, Miller competed with Chris Taylor to become the Mariners" starting shortstop. Taylor broke his wrist during the competition, and Miller became the starter by default.
When the Mariners promoted Taylor to the majors in May, they made Taylor the starting shortstop and indicated that Miller would play in a "super utility role", similar to that of Ben Zobrist.
Tampa Bay Rays
On November 5, 2015, the Mariners traded Miller, Logan Morrison, and Danny Farquhar to the Tampa Bay Rays for Nathan Karns, C. J. Riefenhauser, and Boog Powell.
