The San Diego Padres may explore trading closer Mason Miller as they approach the MLB trade deadline. Former MLB GM Jim Bowden suggests the Padres could trade Miller to address multiple roster needs while planning for the future. 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. Bowden's proposal has sparked conversation about the potential risks involved in trading such a talented closer.
