Padres Make Waves at Trade Deadline Again, Unafraid to Deal Away One of Baseball’s Top Prospects

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 31 – The Padres strengthened their bullpen with All-Star closer Mason Miller, who has 20 saves this season, while trading top prospect Leodalis De Vries to the Athletics for a rebuild.

  • On Thursday, the San Diego Padres acquired closer Mason Miller and lefty starter JP Sears from the Oakland Athletics, sending Leodalis De Vries, Braden Nett, Henry Báez, and Eduarniel Núñez in return, a source confirmed.
  • With the 3 p.m. PT trade deadline looming, the Padres made their first shockwave as a source confirmed they remain shopping for a top rotation starter.
  • Miller has pitched to a 3.76 ERA with 59 strikeouts and 20 saves over 38.1 innings this season, while Sears posted a 4.95 ERA with 97 strikeouts in 111 innings.
  • The acquisition clears the way for the Padres to trade closer Robert Suárez and/or starter Dylan Cease, with reports suggesting San Diego might flip Suárez for payroll flexibility.
  • Miller remains under team control through 2029, and Sears is under contract through 2028, securing both pitchers' long-term value for the Padres.
