MLB pitchers Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader were teammates for five years (from 2018-2022) when they played for the Milwaukee Brewers in the big leagues. They have continued their amazing friendship despite both pitchers playing for different organizations.
Hader moved to San Diego to play with the Padres for two years, before ultimately moving to Houston last offseason after sigining a five-year, $95 million contract with the Astros. Burnes moved to Baltimore, to play with the Orioles last season but signed a mammoth six-year, $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks this offseason.
He was officially introduced as a D-back inside the Chase Field in Arizona on Wednesday. Corbin Burnes was joined by his wife Brooke and their three kids for the introduction ceremony. Josh Hader's wife, Maria, was quick to react to Corbin's official introduction and dropped a five-word comment on social media, which read:
"So happy for our people!!! 🖤 "
Corbin Burnes prioritized a move to Arizona with his family in mind. He along with his wife Brooke had settled in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2018 and two years later the couple got married on November 14, 2020.
They are now proud parents to three kids, a son and a set of twin daughters. Their son, Carter was born on March 3, 2022, and their twin daughters, Charlotte and Harper were born on June 28, 2024.
The couple's son is good friends with Lucas, son of Josh Hader and Maria. The Haders dated for several years before getting engaged on November 15, 2018 and then proceeded with exchanging vows on November 30, 2019. Their only child, Lucas Alexander Hader was born on June 15, 2022.
