The Priceless Miller: Will Oakland’s dominant closer be traded or will the A’s hold onto their prize asset?

Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller has become one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball, making him a highly sought-after player for teams looking to strengthen their bullpens. Sources reveal that the A’s are likely to set an “absurd” asking price for Miller due to his impressive performance and long-term contract.

The A’s have control over Miller through the 2029 MLB season, giving them the leverage to demand a significant return for the 25-year-old pitcher. Despite interest from multiple teams, including the Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, and Colorado Rockies, the Athletics are expected to hold onto Miller unless presented with an exceptional offer.

Miller’s breakout season was marked by a 2.14 ERA, 59 strikeouts, and 13 saves in 33 1/5 innings pitched. His dominant pitching, with a fastball reaching nearly 104 mph, has solidified his reputation as a key player in the Athletics’ roster.

While speculation swirls around the possibility of a Miller trade, sources suggest that Oakland is unlikely to part ways with the star closer. Despite the unpredictable nature of the MLB trade deadline, the A’s seem determined to retain Miller and his valuable contributions to the team. Only time will tell if a deal will materialize before the deadline arrives.
