San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller has been the subject of trade rumors over the last few weeks as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches. The Padres have held a high asking price for Miller in any trade talks, similar to what they paid to land him a year ago. San Diego traded top prospect Leo De Vries, among other pieces, to the Athletics for the closer. However, MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today has predicted that the Padres will indeed trade Miller at the deadline this season. Multiple teams have engaged the Padres in trade talks, with Preller looking to maximize any would-be return.
