The Padres provided a bolt from the blue of what was a largely rote trade deadline by acquiring dominant closer Mason Miller and back-end starter J.P. Sears from the Athletics, with a four-player package headed by elite prospect Leo De Vries off to Sacramento.

San Diego shockingly acquired 100-mph flamethrower Mason Miller from the A’s on Thursday in a massive move ahead of the MLB trade deadline, the teams announced. San Diego is also receiving former Yankee lefty JP Sears, while the A’s are acquiring four players, including the No. 3 prospect in the sport in touted shortstop Leo De Vries.
