The Milwaukee Brewers have traded reliever Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres.
The Padres will send the Brewers a package of left-handed closer Taylor Rogers, LHP prospect Robert Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz, and right-hander Dinelson Lamet in return for Hader, whose 29 saves currently lead the league. With Hader off to San Diego, Devin Williams could step into the closer role for the Brewers in the near future. Hader, who has spent each of his first six seasons with the Brewers, will be a free agent after the 2023 season.
Hader locked in 29 saves across 34 innings pitched so far this season, boasting a 1.12 WHIP with a 4.24 ERA, and 59 strikeouts to just 12 walks.
