Would the Milwaukee Brewers be best served trading this stud to the New York Yankees?
There's one big question hanging over the Milwaukee Brewers' heads this winter: Is Devin Williams still going to be a Brewer by Opening Day?
He may have blown the save in the Brewers' season-ending loss against the New York Mets, but for the last five years, Williams has had a claim to be the best reliever in baseball. He's a two-time National League Reliever of the Year, and owns a ridiculous 1.83 ERA in 235 1/3 innings. Because he will be a free agent after the coming season, Williams has been bandied about as a likely trade candidate, especially considering the Brewers declined his $10.5 million club option for 2025. It's a habit of Milwaukee's to trade superstars before they leave in free agency, so Williams could very well be next."Devin Williams, pack your stuff," DeRosa said. "We're not staying in Milwaukee.
DeRosa managed Williams for Team USA in the 2023 World Baseball classic, so he's seen up close how big an impact the star closer can have on a game. The Yankees, who are coming off a World Series appearance, are also renowned for the success they get out of most of their relievers. Milwaukee doesn't have to trade Williams now, though. Trade deadline prices were sky-high last season and if no one blows the Brewers away, they can wait on a deal until the end of July in hopes that the right prospect package comes along.Jackson Roberts is a former Division III All-Region DH who now writes and talks about sports for a living.
