| 7/09/25 | Guardians seek to close series against Astros with a sweep.

Hader worked around a two-out single from Brayan Rocchio in the ninth inning but was undone by walks to Jose Ramirez and Carlos Santana before Martinez hit his first career grand slam.

Dylan Sanders of Sports Illustrated proposed a deal that would send two prospects for a new reliever. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/houston-astros... |

| 6/25/25 | Astros' Josh Hader matches franchise history in dominant win over Phillies. The Houston Astros continued their red-hot stretch with a 2-0 shutout over the Philadelphia Phillies, but all eyes were on closer Josh Hader, who made franchise history in the win. The Houston Astros flame-throwing lefty matched a club record with his 21st consecutive save to start the season, tying a mark set by Dave Smith back in 1989. The Astros bullpen has been one of the most reliable units in baseball this year, and Hader's flawless run has been a key reason why. Marc Berman, formerly of Fox 26, highlighted the moment on X (formerly Twitter), sharing Hader's impressive streak and historical context.

Should the Brewers buy or sell? Despite their playoff contention, the Brewers' history of bold trades—moving players like Josh Hader, Corbin Burnes, and Devin Williams near free agency—has convinced some analysts that their ace, Freddy Peralta, will be made available in July.

| 6/08/25 | Houston Astros Superstar Closer Performing at Highest Level in Years. The Houston Astros made a big move before the 2024 campaign to sign star closer Josh Hader in free agency. As the San Diego Padres looked to shed payroll, they opted not to re-sign Hader, then a five-time National League all-star, and the Astros braintrust made a strong five-year, $95 million offer to lock up an elite closer for the next half decade. Unfortunately for Houston, that's not what happened last year. Hader was solid by Major League standards, but not quite himself, posting a 3.80 ERA, driven largely by a failiure to induce ground balls and avoid barrels, ranking in the bottom 10 percent among all pitchers in those areas.

| 5/12/25 | Brewers Unlocking Next Potential Superstar Reliever. The Milwaukee Brewers are a team that has found a way to develop bullpen talent. Milwaukee had Josh Hader who developed into one of the most dominant closers in baseball during his stint in town. The Brewers traded him away -- to the surprise of many -- because they had arguably an even bigger star on their hands in Devin Williams. Milwaukee dealt Williams away this offseason to the New York Yankees and there was chatter already about how the team has another star in waiting.

| 4/30/25 | Houston Astros Closer Finally Beginning to Look Worthy of Mammoth Contract. The Houston Astros have found themselves on a hot streak over the last couple of weeks with six victories in their last 10 games after an up and down start to the year. Having to replace arguably the two most important players on the team was never going to be easy, but the Astros are appearing to now find their way into a groove. Part of the reason they are starting to figure things out is because of how reliable the back end of their bullpen has been. When Houston gave Josh Hader one of the most-lucrative contracts for a reliever in baseball history -- worth $95 million over five years -- many questioned if the left-hander was worth it.

| 4/24/25 | Houston Astros Superstar Closer Finally Living Up To Historic Contract. Josh Hader is under a lot of pressure. Not only does he have one of the most stressful jobs in baseball as the Houston Astros' closer, but he also has to deal with incredibly high expectations after signing the largest contract in MLB history (five years, $95 million) for a reliever. Perhaps that pressure got to Hader a bit last year, as he struggled in his first season with the Astros. The 31-year-old lefty is off to an incredible start this season and pitching better than ever, finally living up to the hype as well as his massive contract.

| 3/23/25 | Astros Reveal Four More Members of Opening Day Roster, Bullpen. The Houston Astros have one of the best closers in MLB in Josh Hader, and they boast an elite setup option on Bryan Abreu. When spring training began, one of the biggest questions facing the team was which pitchers would step up to earn spots on the opening day roster behind that top-end duo and righty Tayler Scott. According to a post on X by Chandler Rome of The Athletic, Rafael Montero, Bryan King, Steven Okert and Luis Contreras will break camp with the Major League club.

The Houstons Astros had one of the best starting rotations in all of baseball last year, but that unit did not receive much help from relief pitchers. The Astros bullpen as a whole was average at best. Houston will need their pitching staff to carry them a bit more this season. One thing that is certain is Josh Hader won't be leaving the closer role. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/can-houston-ast... |
| 12/22/24 | Astros Star Josh Hader Discusses Changes He's Making Ahead of Upcoming Season. The Houston Astros shocked everyone last offseason when they handed Josh Hader the most lucrative deal for a closer in Major League Baseball history. Not only was the contract something that was eye-catching, but the fact they already had Ryan Pressly in that role performing well made this move a bit confusing. Hader was good for the Astros, but he wasn't dominant. Houston was expecting to get the 2023 version of the left-hander when he posted a 1.28 ERA and a ridiculous 331 ERA+ that put him 231 percentage points above the league average.

| 12/21/24 | Milwaukee Brewers Pitching Prospect Gains Serious Recognition From MiLB.com. The Milwaukee Brewers are known to be a frugal organization at the major league-level. In 2022, the Brewers traded away closer Josh Hader, and then they traded away Corbin Burnes last offseason. Furthermore, they dealt Devin Williams just two weeks ago in a deal with the New York Yankees. As a result of these trades, the Brewers are often left looking for internal answers to fill holes.
