10 months agoDespite already having one of the best closers in postseason history in right-hander Ryan Pressly, the Houston Astros are trying to sign free-agent left-hander Josh Hader, who is considered perhaps the best closer in baseball. According to sources briefed on their discussions, the Astros are making a push for the 29-year-old southpaw who has been seeking a contract in excess of Mets closer Edwin Diaz's five-year, $102 million deal, which was the largest ever for a reliever. The addition of Hader would help boost a bullpen that won't have Kendall Graveman (shoulder) for the entire season. Houston has wanted Hader since the trade deadline in 2023, but adding him now would raise questions about how first-year manager Joe Espada would handle the closer role. If Hader is added on a huge deal, it's likely that he'd serve as the primary closer, with Pressly moving to a setup role.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
