The San Diego Padres made two interesting moves ahead of the trade deadline on Monday.
The Padres acquired four-time All-Star Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers for left-hander Taylor Rogers, righty Dinelson Lamet and prospects Robert Gasser and Esteury Ruiz, MLB.com reported.
Hader was one of the best closers in baseball in recent years, but a recent cold streak landed him in the middle of trade rumors. He leads the majors with 29 saves but has a 4.24 ERA. He was an All-Star this season and in 2021, 2019 and 2018.
