To get a picture of why the deal was called an overpay, the entire deal needs to be laid out. The Padres got Miller and Sears from the Athletics, while sending De Vries (3rd overall prospect in baseball), Braden Nett (Padres' 3rd-ranked prospect), Henry Baez (13th-ranked prospect), and Eduarniel Nunez (17th-ranked prospect).

In a move that is being heralded as one of the best of the trade deadline, the Padres acquired flame-throwing closer, Mason Miller of The Athletics. While they sent Miller, who frequently hits 100 miles per hour and has 20 saves on the year, along with southpaw starter JP Sears, the A's did land a handful of players in return.
