Robert Murray Skeptical A's Will Trade Closer Mason Miller

[Brock Beauchamp]

Robert Murray of FanSided, appearing on the Baseball Insiders show, expressed skepticism that Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller will be traded before the deadline.

Miller, who isn't even arbitration eligible until the 2026 season, cannot become a free agent until after the 2029 season. Murray also expressed the opinion that if Miller is made available, it will be difficult to offer more than the Baltimore Orioles, who have a stacked farm system and nowhere to put many of their farmhands in the coming years.

Miller is still only 25 years old and has an incredible 17 strikeouts per nine innings as of this writing.
