So the Brewers decided, at the trade deadline being a 90 percent chance to make the playoffs and had a division lead with the possibility of going into any playoff series with
Burnes - Woody - Peralta
Williams - Hader
Decided to sell?
One of the only possible reasons I can think of (and let me adjust my tin foil hat as I say this) is that things got so bad between Hader and the Brewers behind closed doors that it simply was never gonna work out between the two sides. I know Hader wanted to spend time with his kid but maybe he simply told the Brewers “I’m done with this organization, I’m not representing them in the All Star game. Trade me as soon as possible”.
