Mason Miller Would Make Nice Addition, Just Not at Insanely Steep Cost

Related Topics: Mason Miller, Ken Rosenthal

Mason Miller throws the hardest four-seamer in MLB with an average of 100.9 mph and he’s struck out a staggering 38 of the 67 batters he’s faced with just five walks over 18.1 innings this season. He already has eight saves for an A’s team that figures to finish well below .500 as it spirals further into obscurity on its quest to leave Oakland for Las Vegas. Shutdown closers are always in high demand and Miller is at the top of everyone’s list because he’s only 25 and isn’t arbitration-eligible until 2026 with his free agency not scheduled until 2030.
