Padres consider trading closer Mason Miller at deadline

Summary

The San Diego Padres may explore trading closer Mason Miller as they approach the MLB trade deadline.

Miller, 27, currently has a 0.96 ERA with 23 saves and is under team control through the 2029 season. The Padres require assistance in the starting rotation, first base, second base, and outfield.
