I just traded Baty for Hader and scraps, and was initially terrified that Hader might have been dealt into a set-up or co-closer situation. Glad to see Rogers going to Milwaukee.

Hader is arguably the best closer in baseball. It's unlikely that he would be in a setup role (or even co-closer).

pretty much everyone who has Devin Williams now has a keeper. Love this deal!

I have Ruiz but not sure what the Brewers are going to do with him. Send him to the minors? Or in some type of platoon with Taylor? They both bat right.

Was hoping he would be involved in a Soto deal and have an opportunity to maybe lead off for the Nats. Seems like a murkier situation for him in Milwaukee.

It could be that the Nats are dragging their feet on what to do with Soto so the Padres might have moved on.

I read that Ruiz is going to Nashville so Taylor job is safe for know. Was this a good deal for the Brewers? I feel that the Padres got better end of the deal for now.

Taylor Rogers is a FA at the end of the season, so not sure I understand exactly what Milwaukee is doing here. Rogers will be a setup guy, Lamet is a reclamation project, Gasser isn't a top prospect, and Ruiz, who knows? Why would a team in 1st place trade away the best closer in baseball for a bunch of, uhhh, stuff?

From what I've read, MIL was not planning to pay Hader post-arbitration in 2023 at all. Maybe they thought they could get more for him now? It seems like a decent haul if Ruiz is good. Not saying I agree for a contending team to do this, but it's a sort of explanation.

Great tweet in response to that statement the Brewers made:

If you have to release a statement after you make a trade you probably made a really bad trade.

Yeah, IF Ruiz is good. I would've thought any haul for Hader would need to include some kind of sure-thing types. And not mid-season when they have title aspirations. Bizarre.

Unless they know something is not right with Hader.

I hope he doesn't have taylorrogersitis
