The San Diego Padres<\/a> have been in trade rumors and speculation recently, and it’s all been about the potential for a second-straight season with a Mason Miller blockbuster.<\/p>\n

A.J. Preller acquired Miller last summer at the deadline from the Athletics<\/a>, and now, a year later, Miller’s name has reemerged as a trade target. But there’s a significant reason to doubt a trade actually happens.<\/p>\n

However, Dennis Lin of The Athletic<\/a> is predicting that Miller is traded by the Padres, just not when most might expect, given the rumors ahead of the 2026 MLB trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Padres predicted to trade Mason Miller, just not at 2026 MLB trade deadline<\/p>\n

“Mason Miller gets traded … next year,” Lin predicts. “… San Diego eventually might be compelled to flip him for controllable starting pitching – and president of baseball operations A.J. Preller will at least listen to offers – but now feels a bit soon.”<\/p>\n

While Lin is predicting that Miller will be traded by the Padres, that prediction wouldn’t come true until after the 2026 MLB season.<\/p>\n

Miller is under club control through the 2029 MBL season, giving the Padres plenty of time to determine if they want to trade the superstar closer.<\/p>\n

He’s only 27 years old and is having an incredible season so far in 2026. He has a 0.82 ERA with 2.5 bWAR, 27 saves, and 80 strikeouts. in 43.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

There’s not another closer in baseball more valuable than Miller right now, considering the control and the dominance on the mound. He’d fetch a huge return, and the Padres might actually consider trading him.<\/p>\n

But Lin is predicting that such a trade will come after the 2026 season. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise, as over the offseason, the Padres might be able to drum up more interested teams and spark a bigger bidding war.<\/p>\n

While plenty of clubs will show interest in Miller this summer, the offers might not be as robust as they could be over the offseason, or even at a future deadline.<\/p>\n

It will be very interesting to see what happens with Miller this summer, as there might not be a more fascinating superstar, other than Tarik Skubal, who could be on the move this summer. And knowing Preller, just about anything is on the table.<\/p>\n
