Padres Set High Asking Price for Mason Miller and Adrián Morejón

The San Diego Padres are reportedly demanding a significant return for their top relievers, Mason Miller and Adrián Morejón, as the trade deadline approaches. Multiple sources indicate that the asking price for Miller is so high that other teams are skeptical about a potential deal.

Padres president of baseball operations has indicated that any team interested in acquiring Miller must be willing to part with every top prospect in their system. Reports suggest that the asking price resembles the package the Padres previously offered for Juan Soto, which included several high-end players. The Brewers and Pirates have shown interest in Miller, but the required prospects, including top talents, have made negotiations challenging.

Miller, who is having an exceptional season with a 0.79 ERA and an impressive strikeout rate, is under contract for three more years at a low salary, making him a valuable asset. Morejón, while not as dominant, is also attracting trade interest as he approaches free agency. The Padres are expected to receive multiple inquiries for him as well, although they are asking for several top-10 prospects in return.
