A-Rod Urges Yankees To Trade For MLB All-Star
The Yankees will likely be an active team at the trade deadline, looking to improve their roster for a playoff run.
In a recent interview with FS1’s First Things First, Alex Rodriguez said he thinks the team should look to acquire Jeremy Peña.
He also mentioned that Josh Hader would be a good option.
Rodriguez: “And then I would look at Hader, the left-handed relief guy. Those are kind of the two moves I would think about.”
Looking At Hader
Hader has been among the best relievers in baseball for nearly a decade.
The 32-year-old was picked in the 19th round of the 2012 MLB Draft.
He spent the first 5.5 seasons of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Following the Brewers, Hader spent part of two seasons with the San Diego Padres.
He is in his third year with the Houston Astros.
Over 470 career games, the six-time MLB All-Star has gone 34-31 with a 2.62 ERA.
FOX Sports: MLB wrote (on June 2): “Josh Hader had a 2.05 ERA while converting 28 out of 29 save opportunities for Houston last year before he went on the injured list in August with a capsule strain in his left shoulder.”
