As the July 31 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Seattle Mariners are looking to enhance their bullpen, targeting San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller, who has an impressive 0.79 ERA this season. At 53-56, the Mariners are seeking ways to strengthen their roster ahead of the postseason push, balancing needs for both pitching and hitting. Jeff Passan of ESPN highlights Miller as the 'best fit' due to his elite performance and controllable contract, suggesting that he could form part of a dominant bullpen alongside current relievers.
