Overview
- The Brewers acquired Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat from the Mets for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, a move that continues Milwaukee’s recent pattern of trading one-year-of-control All-Star pitchers for controllable talent.
- MLB.com ranks Williams No. 51 and Sproat No. 100 on its latest Top 100 prospects list.
- Sproat, who posted a 4.79 ERA in four September starts for the Mets, was described by Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold as major league ready.
- Williams rebounded from 2024 right-wrist surgery to hit .261/.363/.465 with 17 homers in 2025, and he has logged time at shortstop, second base and center field.
- The pair told reporters they plan to room together and will report soon to American Family Fields of Phoenix, noting their scrappy style aligns with Milwaukee’s roster makeup.
