What happened: Buster Olney hosted a podcast roundtable with Tim Kurkjian and Paul Hembekides covering which division leaders will hold their spots, whether San Diego should trade closer Mason Miller, and a Sandlot theme tied to the All-Star Game. The episode also featured a numbers segment and a trivia quiz from Todd Radom.
Why it matters: The Miller question follows already-reported Yankees interest in acquiring the closer ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, putting San Diego's bullpen anchor at the center of deadline speculation.
By the numbers: Miller carries a 0.91 ERA with 25 saves across 39 2/3 innings this season.
What to watch: Watch for further trade deadline reporting on Miller and the Padres bullpen before Aug. 3.
