Mason Miller trade proposal from Dodgers to Padres faces scrutiny
Summary

The San Diego Padres are evaluating a trade proposal from the Los Angeles Dodgers involving Mason Miller. Miller, who led the National League with 38 saves in 2026, had been previously retained by the Padres for the postseason. A report suggests the Dodgers could offer outfielder Mike Sirota, their No. 3 prospect, in exchange for Miller. While the trade might seem logical, experts argue the Padres should retain Miller and look for additional outfield options through free agency or trades due to Sirota's limited experience in the minors.
