Preller brought flame-throwing closer Mason Miller along with starter J.P. Sears to San Diego in a deal with the A’s, trading away No. 3 overall prospect Leo De Vries and three other top-20 prospects in the Padres’ system.

The Astros were sniffing around the Dylan Cease market at the trade deadline, but there is one player they refused to give the Padres.

The Cardinals visit the Padres. The Cards’ Andre Pallante one-hit the Fish over seven strong, but he gave up 17 runs on 25 hits over his previous 15 ²/₃ innings. San Diego’s Dylan Cease was mauled by the Mets for five runs, but Cease allowed only two runs in his previous 10 ¹/₃. Play $100 on Cease and the Pads.
