Mason Miller

[Dadbauer]

I'm skeptical the Padres will trade Mason Miller, but they are under .500 and high end bullpen pieces can go for a ton of prospect capitol to help them rebuild more quickly. Is a Mason Miller trade realistic? He will likely get expensive in arb, but it would make our bullpen super elite.

If we're going to fork out that many prospects I'd rather just make a run at Skubal. 

They have like 4-5 other arms that could be available but a few of them are fly ball pitchers who are benefitting from Petco. And Adam is unfortunately injured.

Morejon would be my top target, a truly elite bullpen arm who would be the primary closer on about 25 other MLB teams. Bonus that he's a lefty and has favorable splits against LHB. He pitches a bit more to contact than some high leverage relievers but is 99th percentile in ground ball rate. He would thrive with our infield defense. He won't come cheap for a rental but I prefer him over being stuck with 40-year-old Aroldis Chapman in 2027.

The A’s got Leo Devries for Mason Miller last year. He’s still under team control through 2030. 
 

are we giving up Luis Peña + for Mason Miller who is going to get super expensive in arb? 
 

id love mason miller in our pen, but it’s not really the way this team should be operating.
