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.

This year was no different. The Padres made a lot of moves, strengthening their bullpen by adding Mason Miller from the Athletics and shoring up other roster holes by trading for Freddy Fermin, Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano.

After making some of the biggest splashes of the MLB trade deadline, the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners emerged as the biggest odds movers and most popular selections for bettors in the futures markets.
