Padres Name Mason Miller Closer, Prioritize Starting Pitching
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
The San Diego Padres have officially named Mason Miller as their closer for the 2026 season, despite earlier speculation about converting him to a starting pitcher. Miller, known for his electric arm, has impressed in the bullpen, recording a 0.77 ERA in 22 appearances and striking out 45 batters in 23 innings. He will replace Robert Suarez, who opted out of his contract, and will help the Padres maintain a strong bullpen while they focus on acquiring starting pitching through trades or free agency.
