Mason Miller Poised as Padres' Primary Closer After Stellar 2025 Season

Mason Miller, who posted a stellar 2.63 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an MLB-best 44.4% strikeout rate over 61 2/3 innings in 2025, is now poised to take over as the primary closer for the San Diego Padres. After converting 20 saves with the Athletics and then serving as a setup man for the Padres, Miller is expected to be a top selection among fantasy relievers following Robert Suarez's departure in free agency.
