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.

He has a 4.35 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 42 appearances after becoming an All-Star for the first time in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins. Lamet was in his fifth season with the Padres. He posted a 9.49 ERA in 13 appearances.

Gasser, a pitcher, and Ruiz, an outfielder, were both on MLB Pipeline’s list of top prospects in the Padres organization.

The Brewers later announced the trade.
