Yankees target Padres closer Mason Miller ahead of trade deadline

The New York Yankees aim to bolster their bullpen by targeting San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller as the trade deadline approaches. With a league-leading 0.86 ERA and 25 saves this season, Miller has caught the Yankees' attention alongside their pursuit of catcher Ryan Jeffers from the Minnesota Twins. Yankees scouts are actively attending games to evaluate potential trade options. Miller, under club control through 2029, presents a significant acquisition opportunity, though it may come at a steep price for the team looking to compete in the American League.
