The MLB trade deadline is coming down to its final day, and A.J. Preller, the San Diego Padres, and team continue to stay active in trade talks.
Multiple names have come out on Wednesday that the Padres have interest in. Players like the Cleveland Guardians' Steven Kwan, the Boston Red Sox's Jarren Duran, and many others.
Kwan and Duran have been names that have been floating around in trade talks all week, but a new name has been discovered by The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
According to the MLB insider, the Padres are starting to pursue a trade involving the Athletics' closing pitcher, Mason Miller.
With the success that Miller has found in a short time in the big leagues, it would cost a lot for San Diego to land him.
Miller, 26, was an All-Star and was named to the All-MLB Second Team last season, finishing with a 2-2 record, 2.49 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 28 saves, and 104 strikeouts in 65 innings. This year, he's had more down games than last, but he's still managed to have a 3.76 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 20 saves, and 59 strikeouts in 38.1 innings.
The Athletics' closer is currently playing on a contract that has him earning $765,000 in 2025, but he is under team control for another four years.
If the Padres want to trade for Miller, Ken Rosenthal believes that San Diego is going to have to part ways with their two top prospects in their farm system, shortstop Leo De Vries and catcher Ethan Salas, to make a big move before Thursday's deadline.
