Mason Miller throws unfathomably hard.
Earlier this season, he touched 104 miles per hour with his fastball.
That heater could be on the move at the MLB trade deadline if the Athletics want to get bold.
The sports website The Athletic's Dhani Joseph predicts that the A's will make such a move.
"The Athletics are 41-57 and still in the midst of a lengthy rebuild, so they should be extreme sellers at the deadline," Joseph writes. "Miguel Andujar, with his .287 batting average, could be interesting for contenders. However, it’s unlikely he’d bring back much. But Mason Miller, who has multiple years of team control and is one year removed from being an All-Star, would absolutely bring in a haul of prospects and assets."

Miller would immediately become the most sought-after reliever on the market if he became available.
The A's only have so much use for a closer when they don't have a ton of leads.
Other teams would cherish Miller for the next few seasons. He's the rare bullpen arm worth a huge prospect haul.
The A's should at least explore the idea.
