Brewers Trade Closer Josh Hader to Padres, per Report

The Padres reportedly acquired All-Star closer Josh Hader on Monday in a blockbuster deal with the Brewers, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Hader, 28, made his fourth career All-Star team this season. He leads the majors with 29 saves, posting a 4.24 ERA with 59 strikeouts in 34 innings. Milwaukee will receive four players in return for Hader: closer Taylor Rogers, left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser, right-handed pitcher Dinelson Lamet and outfielder Esteury Ruiz.

The move comes on the same day the Padres agreed to a five-year, $100 million extension for All-Star starting pitcher Joe Musgrove.
