Mason Miller Trade Buzz Heats Up as Padres Hover Near Playoff Bubble
With San Diego's postseason odds in the 10-20% range, rival teams are reportedly discussing a potential blockbuster deal for the elite closer.
The Padres enter play at 50-51, sitting 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot with five teams ahead of them. Their postseason odds are estimated between 10-20% across major projection systems. Trade chatter around Mason Miller has intensified for a second consecutive summer, partly fueled by Boston's win streak likely keeping Aroldis Chapman off the market. No deal has been reported or confirmed.
