Having circled around blockbuster deals over the past week, San Diego Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller was able to get one done by acquiring Mason Miller and J.P. Sears from the Athletics.

Lin and Rosenthal also report that the Padres have interest in A’s flamethrower, Mason Miller. Miller remains a long-shot trade candidate but would be one of the most impactful arms available if the A’s seriously consider dealing him.
