While that sounds like Mason Miller will be staying with the Oakland A's, how would a Herschel Walker type of deal work in Major League Baseball?
Mason Miller is in the middle of his first full season, excelling while adapting to a new role in the bullpen, and has been named as the Oakland A's representative for the All Star Game. Of course teams would love to get their hands on the A's closer, but according to a report from, as one MLB executive put it, it would take a "Herschel Walker-type trade" to pry Miller away from the soon-to-be-city-less A's.
One caveat to be considered, however, is that while draft picks themselves cannot be traded, the players that are selected beginning on Sunday could be tagged as a "player to be named later" with that later date being after the season. While this scenario is unlikely, it wouldn't be awful for the A's to consider something like this if they are open to trading Miller. In this particular deal, the A's would essentially have two top-4 draft picks, Cleveland's and their own, which is not something we're likely to see much of anymore as a way to rebuild teams with the new lottery system in place.
If we want to get really wild, Competitive Balance Picks can be traded, and Cleveland also has a selection in Round A, giving them the 36th overall selection as well. While this pick cannot be traded for money, the A's do have the rights to Kyler Murray just laying around for just such an occasion.
