## Resource

The Padres are in freefall—seven straight losses, clinging to playoff hope with barely a .500 record—and their lone All-Star, closer Mason Miller, is stuck in a tough spot. Named to the NL All-Star team despite limited recent action, Miller’s been warming up in tight games while the team struggles, raising questions about whether they’re using their best player wisely. Manager Craig Stammen calls him a weapon but wants to protect him, even as the Padres trade deadline looms. With a top prospect already gone for Miller, the team needs him to pitch more—and that means giving him leads to work with. If they don’t turn things around soon, trading Miller might be the only option left. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
