Quote from fenn68 on March 12, 2026, 1:50 pmAlso, a second round of debate concerning Miller converted to a SP. Buehler, Marquez FA ... Pivetta, King opt out ... Musgrove (last season) and potentially a shadow of his former self ... leaving a starting staff of Vasquez and 4 ?????? Padres have had success in covering RP to SP and Miller has that "special TOR" arm. If the Padres want to contend in 2027-29 they may have to convert Miller since little of that quality climbing the systems (clearly not 4).
Agreed.

IMO trading Miller is a mistake.
We already know he's the best Closer in the game and will be (barring injury) for us for 3 more years.
As we well know there is no guarantee with prospects.
So unless we get a cheap,controllable player who is already performing in MLB there is always a chance that none of the return for Miller will ever amount to anything.
For a team that will desperately need pitching the next few seasons it just seems silly to trade your best arm that you literally control for those next 3 years for question marks.....no matter how high they rank in someones system.
