Initially, the Athletics had no intention of even discussing Mason Miller with the San Diego Padres. The A’s were targeting upper-level pitching prospects. In their estimation, the Padres didn’t have enough. Padres general manager A.J. Preller asked the A’s to supply the names of pitching prospects they wanted from other clubs, with the idea of acquiring those players to obtain …

The Dylan Cease who is staying was better than the one who was going. The Padres’ offense sputtered a bit at the start before getting the big hit it needed and then getting a few more. Their augmented bullpen did its job almost as prescribed and eventually to the end. It was a little more complicated than it needed to …

Two things cannot be questioned any longer, if they had ever been up for debate in recent years. The Padres are committed to winning the major championship that no San Diego team has ever claimed, and there’s no limit to what measures A.J. Preller will take to achieve that aim. The franchise’s methodology can be debated, yes. But after another …

The Padres made a huge move Thursday morning to create a “super bullpen” they hope will lead the way to the team’s first World Series title. It was the first of what is expected to be many shockwaves before the 3 p.m. PT trade deadline. Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller began his maneuvers by sending top prospect Leo …

Tears were shed at the 2022 trade deadline. Yes, the Padres’ acquisition of Juan Soto was cause for celebration, but it came with a cost. James Wood, CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, Robert Hassell III and Jarlin Susana were all highly regarded Padres prospects. And Gore was family, a former No. 3 overall pick who had made his big-league debut with …

Trade details: Padres acquire RHP Mason Miller and LHP JP Sears from the Athletics for SS Leo De Vries, RHP Braden Nett, RHP Henry Báez and RHP Eduarniel Nuñez.  The unstoppable A.J. Preller strikes again; he’d trade prospects he hasn’t even signed yet if the rules allowed it. The Padres dealt their top prospect, 18-year-old shortstop Leo De Vries, who …

The two-run home run Ryan O’Hearn belted in his first plate appearance Wednesday was a fitting goodbye to Baltimore. That turned out to be O’Hearn’s final Orioles game, as the club traded him to the San Diego Padres on Thursday, along with outfielder Ramón Laureano, sources said. O’Hearn and Laureano resurrected their careers in Baltimore. O’Hearn is an impending free …

The Padres just landed a superstar reliever in the biggest move of deadline season. Mason Miller’s presence theoretically gives the Padres more freedom to trade incumbent closer Robert Suarez in the next three hours. That doesn’t appear to be the team’s plan, though. Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune and Dennis Lin of The Athletic each wrote this afternoon that the …
