Josh Hader traded to the Padres
The Milwaukee Brewers have traded closer Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres. (Source: Jeff Passan on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Wow, this is quite a surprise. Despite leading the league with 29 saves, Hader has been very up-and-down this year with a 4.24 ERA. Devin Williams figures to step in as the Brewers closer. The Padres are expected to send Taylor Rogers to Milwaukee, who has struggled in the closer role for the Padres this season.

The return on Josh Hader to Milwaukee is significant: left-handed closer Taylor Rogers, lefty pitching prospect Robert Gasser, outfielder Esteury Ruiz and right-hander Dinelson Lamet, sources tell ESPN. Hader will be a free agent after the 2023 season.
