Padres land A’s closer Mason Miller in MLB trade deadline blockbuster
NY Post
The Padres went big-game hunting again.
San Diego shockingly acquired 100-mph flamethrower Mason Miller from the A’s on Thursday in a massive move ahead of the MLB trade deadline, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
San Diego is also receiving former Yankee lefty JP Sears, while the A’s are acquiring four players, including the No. 3 prospect in the sport in touted shortstop Leo De Vries.
The Post’s Joel Sherman mentioned Wednesday how Miller, who is under control through 2028, represented one of the most intriguing options available at the deadline.
There were questions about whether the A’s would pull the trigger, though, but closers are bringing in massive hauls this deadline and they joined in on the fun.
Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller is perhaps the most aggressive executive in baseball and he continued that trend with this trade, adding a massive piece to an already formidable Padres bullpen that shut down the Mets in a three-game sweep that wrapped up Wednesday.
