According to The Athletic, the Padres are only interested in trading him if they can improve their current major-league roster. But the Astros might have an excess of starters after Spencer Arighetti, J.P. France and Cristian Javier return from injuries as expected in August or September.

Amid that trade, Buster Olney of ESPN reports that the Padres are now likely to trade Dylan Cease and Robert Suarez following the Padres' acquisition of Miller. "Sources: Roberts Suarez and Dylan Cease likely to be on the move now that the Padres have landed Mason Miller and J.P. Sears," Olney reports.
