Josh Hader to HOU, 5Y/95M


Recommended Posts

Definitely a different Astros org than we're used to. Pressly was a solid closer for them but now moves into a high leverage role, or occasional closer if tough righties are due up.

I am surprised at Houston pushing farther into the tax, they have constantly suggested this offseason that they were using that as a major impediment.

This has to have been motivated by Graveman being out, that took like 2 days.

$7 million less than Edwin Diaz in total dollars.

He didn't quite get his $100 million due to slightly diminished stuff and two really erratic swings in 2022/23 with Milwaukee and SD but generally very solid numbers overall.

Also struggled a bit in tie situations...not all that unusual as everyone who follows baseball knows.  That's often the case, especially on the road.

Just what that unlikable team needs. An unlikable player. Match made in heaven.

Mattress Mack probably just put a $20 million bet on Houston to win the 2024 WS

Forgive me I’m a bit out of the loop … is that the going rate for top relievers these days or is this a massive outlier?

Seems a lot for a reliever, even a good one.

Arguably the second best of the last 15-20 years after Rivera.

Some will argue Kimbrel or Jansen but their last five years are way too erratic.

Edwin Diaz doesn't have the same amount of dominant years piled up.
