For the Padres to "win" this trade, there's a good chance they're going to at least consider moving Miller, once a starter with the Athletics, back to the rotation at some point. That's the only way they can justify parting with a player as talented as De Vries.

Miller allowed two hits and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Friday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals. The Padres' acquisition of Miller came amid a flurry of moves for the team, but Robert Suarez also remained in San Diego.
