Yankees, Mets, Phillies Have Discussed Mason Miller With A’s

By Leo Morgenstern | July 30, 2025 at 5:05pm CDT

The Yankees, Mets, and Phillies have all engaged in talks with the Athletics regarding closer Mason Miller, reports The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. This update comes 10 days after USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported in no uncertain terms that Miller was off the market. While Rosenthal does not suggest a trade is likely, it seems the A’s are at least entertaining offers.

Any conversations between the A’s and Phillies may have been brief. Rosenthal notes the A’s asked for Philadelphia’s top pitching prospect, Andrew Painter, in return for Miller. But as Rosenthal and colleague Matt Gelb reported earlier today, the Phillies “refuse to even entertain the thought of moving Painter.” Rosenthal and Gelb suggested that the Phillies’ refusal to part with Painter likely eliminates them from the market for Miller or Twins closer Jhoan Duran.

Rosenthal also throws a bit of cold water on the Yankees connection. The A’s, he explains, are seeking top-tier young arms (hence their interest in Painter). Meanwhile, he mentions that the Yankees are “more focused on adding pitching than subtracting it.” In other words, the A’s are presumably seeking close-to-MLB-ready pitchers (as their interest in Painter implies), and the Yankees, who have learned a lot about the value of pitching depth this season, might not be willing to part with the sort of players who meet the Athletics’ criteria.

As for the Mets, they might not be quite as interested in Miller after they dealt for Tyler Rogers this afternoon. Rogers might not have Miller’s closing experience, high ceiling, or years of team control, but he’s arguably having a better season than Miller, and he and Edwin Díaz give the Mets a strong one-two pairing of right-handers at the back end of their bullpen. The Mets also traded for left-hander Gregory Soto last week, so they might now prefer to focus their efforts on improvements in other areas.

All this to say, the chances of Miller being moved this summer still seem slim, but it might not be out of the question. Perhaps if fellow closers Duran or Ryan Helsley fetch a high enough price for the Twins and Cardinals, respectively, the Athletics will be convinced to take advantage of a relatively weak trade market and the high number of contenders seeking bullpen help.

    If Yanks actually get Mason Miller i’d be happy with the deadline. My guess is Cash is gonna underbid like a mfer and then claim opposing teams give him the Yankees tax again

        Not even close. Carlos Lagrange and at least two more pitching prospects. Probably Cunningham/Hess and Selvidge. Lombard, Jones and Arias are likely all staying put. No TJS for Miller either. Smh.

        A’s don’t need Lombard.

        They have 3 really young, recent 1st Round draft picks patrolling their middle infield; Jacob Wilson, Zack Gelof and Max Muncy.

        Infielders are not a current Team need.

        I think that’s exactly why the Yankees don’t go out and get any big names. It’s almost a 100% certainty they will either get hurt and need TJS immediately or wind up becoming 25% of the player they were before becoming a Yankee. It’s like a massive black cloud that follows this franchise around.

      I agree, but imho there is no chance this happens. I’d be happy with any of the back-end BP guys: Duran, Helsley, Miller, etc. we need someone plus a SP and we should be pretty good.

          Oof, Persky, I don’t know, brother. I guess perhaps Bednar would be my next choice out of the available guys. Probably Hader out of the unlikely trade candidates.

          What are your thoughts?

          15 hours ago

          I’m thinking Bednar could be a possibility since they’ve had dealings with the Pirates in the past. But he will be costly. Since SF seems to be sellers maybe Doval? For rentals, perhaps one of the ATL guys? Igleasis or Johnson.
          For SP Ive always liked Charlie Morton. He’s pitched much better of late and has playoff experience. Also heard Cleveland looking to deal Bieber. He has a player option so would also likely be a rental. But of course with much risk.

        As an Astros fan, yes I’m aware. In fact, I’m rather fond of him lol!

        But as long as Miller is cheap-ish (through 2029), I think it’s likely he stays past the deadline. He could get traded, IDK, but my gut reaction is he stays.

    If the Mets are still interested after getting Rogers, that’s the organization that could probably put together the most appealing package for miller from the A’s perspective. Miller is Under control until 2030 and could be a difference maker in the playoffs, so it would probably take a lot to get him. My guess is McLean or Tong plus others. McLean specifically could be plugged right into the A’s rotation so he could be highly valued by the A’s

      Trading Miller would be beyond stupid. Might as well trade Rooker and Kurtz while they’re at it.

      You spend the last 4 years rebuilding and developing talent to get back to the postseason, and now that you’ve got some of that talent (with lots more coming) you want to trade it off?

      Miller is a once-in-a-generation kind of talent, you do not trade him for anyone. You roll the dice on his sustained success rather than rolling the dice on the return package.

        I mean, any prospects you’d get back first gotta graduate to the main team. Then they gotta become regulars/starters. Then they gotta become All-Stars just to match Miller’s value. Why would you make that trade if you’re LV lol.

        It’s probably all talk. A’s probably want to get a sense what his value is like right now. I doubt they would actually trade him now, given that they need all pitching they can get now.
