What would Josh Hader cost?

[Camden Yards]

If we cannot get a TOR starter, why not try to get another big time reliever. Hader is a FA after this season, so what would it cost to rent him for two months? I seriously doubt Elias would even consider it, but can you imagine Cano, Bautista, and Hader? If we have the lead after five or six innings, the game is probably over!

Why would San Diego trade him?

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

The Padres are only 2.5 games out of the wildcard, they are a team built to win now and won't be sellers if a playoff spot is within reach.

Would love to have Hader though, I don't see him being available.

If they are out of the playoff hunt and cannot sign him, why would they just allow him to walk. They have underperformed all season! Manny is hurt. They cannot keep paying everyone 200 million and hope to win a chip! Something is off with that team.

I don’t know if Hader will be available but I love the idea of acquiring another lockdown guy.

Likely cost Bud Norris.

How about this logic.  The Orioles traded Hader and a couple of other players for Bud Norris.  Bud Norris = Cole Irvin.  Therefore, it will cost us Cole Irvin.  I think the Padres have more common sense than the Orioles had back then.

I think they have a run in them before the deadline. Even 8f they sputter I don't think they sell. 

 

Kinda like the Mets. When they spend like that it's hard to throw it in reverse over a little more than a half a season.

I think getting a difference-making SP in trade will be nearly impossible so doubling down on the bullpen might be the way to go. I remember that 1-2-3 punch KC had in the 2014 ALCS - would be great to re-create something like that.

He will cost us Eduardo Rodriguez

Count me in as one who doesn’t believe the Padres will sell. Plus, I don’t know if the price would be worth a half season rental. We’re talking about trading someone like Povich, who could actually be a long term option in the rotation. 

[Orioles Jim]

Would love to get a lockdown guy for the stretch run ala Andrew Miller to go with our already good pen in 2014.

Share the concerns with others that the Padres incredibly high priced “win now” roster would ever sell anything.

Chapman from KC fits what the OP is suggesting. The 2014 O’s and the 2014 Royals had similar setups in the bullpen. Having three dominant relievers shortens the game and makes the other team press.
