The San Diego Padres are actively pursuing several players before the 2025 MLB trade deadline, including outfielders Jarren Duran and Steven Kwan, and Athletics closer Mason Miller. To acquire these players, the Padres may need to trade top prospects like shortstop Leo De Vries or catcher Ethan Salas. They are also considering trading closer Robert Suarez or starting pitcher Dylan Cease due to financial constraints. Acquiring Miller, a high-velocity pitcher, is a priority, as is adding Duran or Kwan to address budget concerns. The Padres' success in these trades depends largely on their willingness to part with their highly-rated prospects.
