San Diego Padres Acquire Detroit Tigers Pitcher Casey Mize
On Monday, August 3, 2026, the Detroit Tigers traded starting pitcher Casey Mize to the San Diego Padres just before the 6 p.m. MLB trade deadline.
With a 54-58 record this season, the Tigers opted to sell at the deadline; Mize, set to become a free agent after 2026, was a highly coveted asset.
Mize is enjoying a career year, stabilizing the rotation with a 2.70 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 16 starts. Despite previous injury struggles, he solidified his status as a reliable starter.
In exchange for Mize and infielder Gage Workman, Detroit acquired left-handed pitchers Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf to restock pitching depth.
The Padres sit one game back of the third National League wild-card spot, positioning Mize to provide immediate postseason help. The Tigers continue focusing on building for the future.
