Breathe in, breathe out. The 2025 Trade Deadline certainly kept everyone across baseball on their toes, and we at MLB Pipeline are no different. There were industry-shaking blockbusters. There were expected moves.

By the time this year’s deadline passed, Preller had traded 14 players and acquired eight. Left-handers JP Sears and Nestor Cortes, first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and outfielder Ramón Laureano were among those the Padres landed in addition to Miller, an All-Star last season who is under team control through 2029.
