5/17/24 What channel is Brewers vs Astros on this weekend? Time, TV, streaming, radio. Former Brewers closer Josh Hader faces former teammates this weekend.

5/16/24 MLB rumors: Why Brewers won't repeat controversial Josh Hader trade decision. Two years ago, the Milwaukee Brewers were locked in a heated NL Central race but ended up trading star closer Josh Hader at the MLB deadline. It was a very strange move for the Brewers given that they had a three-game lead in the division at the time, and apparently, it destroyed the locker room and team morale. David Stearns—who is now the New York Mets' president of baseball operations—was Milwaukee's general manager at the time, and he said this past winter that he regretted the move. Well, the Brewers are not going to make that mistake again.

Gasser was with the team Thursday as the Brewers began their four-game series with the Cardinals, though he hadn’t yet officially been added to the roster.

4/26/24 Padres' Closer Confusion is Officially Cleared Up. Padres' Closer Confusion is Officially Cleared Up Author: Maren Angus-Coombs Apr 26, 2024 The San Diego Padres lost their closer Josh Hader to free agency and didn't have an immediate replacement for him coming into spring training. Padres manager Mike Shildt didn't have a clue early this spring about who could be trusted with the ball in the ninth inning and declined to name a closer : “I'm not going to give you an absolute answer because depending on the day, depending on the matchups, it could be anybody based on who is available.” Through the first 28 games of the season, Robert Suarez has emerged as the new closer in town. He is a perfect 9-for-9 in saves with a 0.77 earned run average.

4/15/24 Astros' $95 million Josh Hader signing already being questioned amid slow start. The Houston Astros put their depth to the test this offseason when they decided to consolidate their financial resources to bring in one of the best closers in the game in Josh Hader. In giving Hader a five-year, $95 million contract, the Astros have inched closer to the second luxury-tax threshold, preventing them from making other moves. Alas, this decision appears to be backfiring for the Astros early on in the season. The Astros' starting pitching outside of Cristian Javier, Framber Valdez and Ronel Blanco has been questionable at best; Hunter Brown and JP France have been major disappointments, with that duo combining for an unsightly 10.90 ERA.

4/03/24 Schneider's two-run homer off Hader in ninth lifts Blue Jays to 2-1 win over Astros. Davis Schneider’s two-run homer off closer Josh Hader with two outs in the ninth inning lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to a 2-1 win over the Houston Astros. It looked like the Blue Jays were going to be shut out for a second straight night after Ronel Blanco threw the first no-hitter of the season in Houston’s 10-0 win Monday. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled to start the ninth, but Bo Bichette grounded into a double play. Hader, signed by the Astros to a five-year, $95 million contract this offseason, walked Justin Turner to bring up Schneider. His soaring shot sailed to center field

3/28/24 Healthy Carlos Rodon set for '24 debut as Yanks face Astros. While the game situation wasn't necessarily ideal for new Houston closer Josh Hader to make his Astros debut, his performance most certainly made a favorable impression. Hader, the Astros' notable free-agent acquisition this offseason, struck out the side on 13 pitches in the ninth inning of a 5-4 home loss to the New York Yankees on Opening Day Thursday. The teams resume their four-game series Friday night, with New York left-hander Carlos Rodon opposing Houston right-hander Cristian Javier. Hader threw nine sinkers and four sliders while dispatching Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Rizzo and Anthony Volpe.

3/22/24 Best bets: 2024 Houston Astros World Series odds, win total and more. The Houston Astros finished with a 90-72 record in 2023. It was their lowest win total in a full season since 2016, though they still managed to win the American League West after a tight battle with the Texas Rangers, who finished with an identical record. It has been a fairly quiet offseason for the Astros, though they did name a new manager in Joe Espada, in addition to 1 major addition on the field. The team's big splash was adding LHP Josh Hader, who saved 33 games for San Diego in 2023.
