Mason Miller, the reliever for A’s, has caught the attention of potential trades due to his performance. However, the team is asking for a high price in exchange.

There will be ongoing discussion about potentially trading Miller until the trade deadline, unless he is injured or traded earlier. If he is traded, the compensation is expected to be significant, possibly even astounding. Otherwise, the A’s do not need to take any action.

The A’s are not opposed to potentially trading him. Teams consider possible deals for nearly all players. The consistency of many relief pitchers can be unpredictable. Additionally, Miller was absent for approximately four months during the previous season due to a minor strain in his right elbow’s UCL.

According to a source within the team, no other team has been willing to offer a price close to what the A’s are asking for. It’s possible that no team will be able to meet their demands. At the age of 25, Miller is not only the best young player on the Oakland team, but also their overall best player. To obtain him, a team would likely have to give up a similarly talented young player or a significant package of multiple young players who could potentially contribute to the A’s future success.

Miller has the highest average fastball velocity among baseball pitchers, at 100.8 mph. Jhoan Duran of the Minnesota Twins is close behind at 100.7 mph. Although Oakland Athletics could potentially substitute Miller with setup man Lucas Erceg, who has an average fastball velocity of 98.6 mph, the combination of Erceg and Miller in the later innings has been highly advantageous.

If the Padres were interested in Miller at this point, the A’s would probably request rookie center fielder Jackson Merrill. Other teams may face similar demands. According to Baseball Trade Values, a fair trade with the Baltimore Orioles would include two of Keith Law’s top 100 prospects: Coby Mayo (No. 27) and Enrique Bradfield Jr. (No. 64).

Miller is earning a salary of 0,000 for this season and will not be eligible for arbitration until 2026. The club has control of him until 2029.

However, the A’s have stated that they intend to increase their payroll and strengthen their roster as they get ready to relocate to Las Vegas in 2028. Miller’s involvement in this transition could be crucial, as it would provide the team with credibility and a sense of identity during the three years they will spend in Sacramento.

Miller has been dominant in his 16 1/3 innings, with an impressive stat line of 33 strikeouts, only seven hits allowed, and four walks. Among all relief pitchers in the major leagues, he holds the highest strikeout rate of 55 percent. His ERA of 1.10 is impressive, and his opponents have only managed a batting average of .125 against him. Even more impressive, his expected numbers are even better at 0.76 ERA and a batting average of .087.

Of course, other teams have expressed interest in the Oakland Athletics’ hard-throwing right-handed closer, Mason Miller, and of course, the A’s are seeking a substantial return in any trade discussions.
