The San Diego Padres have reportedly made a bold move to solidify their bullpen by acquiring closer Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Per Passan, the Brewers will receive a "significant" return featuring left-handed closer Taylor Rogers, lefty pitching prospect Robert Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz and right-hander Dinelson Lamet in exchange for the All-Star pitcher.
It's a surprise to see the Brewers move on from Hader given that he remains an elite closer and they are competing with the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central.
