The Brewers were two games up in first place when they traded almost-automatic closer Josh Hader, which immediately depressed the clubhouse. The Brewers have a smart front office, and the trade of a reliever a year from unaffordability, especially after Hader had a couple hiccups in July, made sense. However, they didn’t account for the way the trade impacted the clubhouse, which was exacerbated when their bullpen blew its next two games to the Pirates.
