The San Diego Padres are finalizing a deal to acquire standout reliever Mason Miller and starting pitcher JP Sears from the Athletics, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.
Miller, known for his triple-digit fastball and dominant presence on the mound, has been one of the most electrifying young arms in baseball this season. Sears, a left-hander with solid command and versatility, adds depth to the Padres’ rotation.
The move signals San Diego’s intent to make a serious postseason push, bolstering both the bullpen and starting staff as the trade deadline approaches. Details on the return package headed to Oakland have not yet been disclosed.
