When the San Diego Padres acquired former closer Josh Hader during the 2022 season, they also acquired unique restrictions.

Josh Hader midway through the 2022 season, Josh Hader requested that the self-imposed restrictions in his contract with the Milwaukee Brewers remain intact.

In a season and a half in San Diego, Hader recorded 40 saves. This drew the ire of fans as a disappointing 2023 season drew to a close, and Hader would not budge on being used exclusively in the ninth inning. Internally, Hader's usage restrictions might have been unpopular among some within the Padres' ranks too.When he was on the mound, Hader was generally excellent. He made his fifth All-Star Game and closed five games in the 2022 playoffs without giving up a run.

"From the outside looking in, some people would say it's selfish; some people feel like players should do what they're told," Hader toldHader didn’t budge from his usage clause until recently with the Houston Astros. He appeared in multiple innings on April 30, the first time he had done so since Sept. 7, 2021.
