Show Notes
The Milwaukee Brewers made a stunning maneuver Aug. 1, trading star reliever Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres for four players. Host JR Radcliffe and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg take a quick reaction to the news. Why now, in the throes of a pennant race? Which player is key to the return? How does the Brewers bullpen look now?
Then, JR plays his interview with Doug Melvin (20:00) looking back at the trade to get Hader in 2015, a multi-layered transaction that included a player crying on the field, an airplane tweet, a downtown Milwaukee dinner gone wrong, a no-hitter and a cheating scandal.
