Hader to the Padres, per reports

MLB Trade Rumors: Josh Hader has been traded to the San Diego Padres from the Milwaukee Padres, per multiple reports.

This is not your normal trade deadline move, since the Brewers are in first place in the National League Central, and aren't your traditional "sellers," while the Padres are in contention in the National League West. Hader, an All Star closer who has been one of the best relievers in the majors for the past several years (despite a 4.24 ERA this year), is slated for a large raise in arbitration after the 2022 season, and the Brewers have been reportedly listening on him because of a belief that they can replace his production for a lower price.
