The San Diego Padres have reportedly reached out to the New York Yankees to inquire about one of their young prospects, Dax Kilby, as interest and speculation continue around a possible trade involving Padres closer Mason Miller. Multiple outlets report that the Padres are “doing their homework” on Kilby ahead of the MLB trade deadline, indicating ongoing evaluation of potential pitching-related trade targets. While details on the scope of the inquiry, any formal trade discussions, or Miller’s availability are not provided in the available reporting, the reports suggest the Padres are exploring options involving Yankees talent while trade rumors around Miller remain a central storyline. The information reflects teams’ typical pre-deadline scouting and negotiation process, where inquiries can occur well before any deal is made. No agreement is confirmed in the cited summaries, and the reports focus on the Padres’ interest in Kilby as part of broader trade-deadline intrigue.
