Mason Miller Expected To Stay With A's
5 months agoOakland Athletics star closer Mason Miller is expected to stay put at this summer's trade deadline. Miller has been so electric this year in his first full season as the team's ninth-inning arm that not only do the A's want to keep him around as they begin their eventual transition to Las Vegas next year, but his price has become astronomically high. The flamethrowing 25-year-old right-hander has been lights-out for fantasy managers and the A's in 2024, posting a 1.96 ERA (1.80 FIP), a 0.79 WHIP, his first 14 saves, 64 strikeouts and 13 walks in 36 2/3 innings in his second year in the majors. The former third-round pick in 2021 out of Gardner-Webb University routinely hits triple digits on the radar gun and has an absurd 47.1% strikeout rate.
