Mize’s Struggles Could Sink Padres | Detroit Tigers News

The Padres pulled off a bold trade deadline move, acquiring pitcher Casey Mize from Detroit in exchange for top prospect Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf. Mize, who entered the deal with a stellar 2.70 ERA, has struggled since joining San Diego, posting a 1-3 record and a concerning 6.67 ERA in his first six starts—blaming poor execution but hoping for a rebound. Meanwhile, Detroit is reaping the rewards: Wolf has dominated Triple-A with a 1.59 ERA, and Mayfield, despite injury setbacks, showed promise before his setback. Gage Workman hasn’t made much of an impact for San Diego. With the Padres clinging to a half-game lead for the final NL wild-card spot, Mize’s next start against Washington could be pivotal—if he can turn things around, this gamble might pay off; if not, the Padres’ playoff hopes hang in the balance.
