The Padres engineered a bold trade by sending top prospect Leo De Vries to the Athletics for closer Mason Miller and starter JP Sears. This marks a rare movement of a top 3 prospect, the first since 2016. Miller made a strong debut with a scoreless appearance and highlighted his disdain for the Dodgers upon joining the team. Despite improvements, the Padres still confront a challenging road to the World Series, competing against strong teams like the Dodgers, Cubs, Mets, Brewers, and Phillies.
AJ Preller traded away No. 3 overall prospect Leo De Vries as part of a superstar package to land Mason Miller and starter JP Sears.
The inclusion of De Vries in the trade marks the first time since the 2016 offseason that a top 3 prospect in baseball was dealt.
Mason Miller sent a message regarding the Dodgers, saying, 'They told me right away that we don't like those guys a whole lot.'
Despite their spending and roster changes, the Padres still face significant competition for the World Series, especially from the Dodgers.
