ESPN baseball insider Jeff Passan says San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller is available for trade, though any deal would likely require a major return. Passan made the comments on “The Pat McAfee Show,” indicating that Miller is “definitely available” as potential trade discussions develop. Both reports tie the possibility of a new move to the context of Miller’s recent arrival in San Diego: the Padres acquired him in the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline trade. While the sources agree on the availability signal, they also emphasize that the asking price is expected to be steep. The reporting does not specify specific teams, prospective trade packages, or Miller’s willingness to be traded. Instead, it focuses on Passan’s assessment of the market and the likelihood that acquiring Miller would come at a premium. As of now, the information reflects insider expectations rather than confirmation of an agreed trade, with negotiations and offers determining whether a transaction ultimately occurs.
