Overview
- Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat were introduced via Zoom days after Milwaukee sent All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta and right-hander Tobias Myers to the Mets, continuing the Brewers’ prospect-focused reshaping.
- Team president Matt Arnold said both newcomers will get real chances to make the club, calling Sproat “major league ready.”
- MLB Pipeline ranks Williams No. 51 overall and Sproat No. 100, underscoring the value Milwaukee sought in the deal.
- Sproat, 25, made four starts for New York last September with a 4.79 ERA, while Williams rebounded from 2024 wrist surgery to hit .261/.363/.465 with 17 home runs and reach Triple-A in 2025.
- Peralta joins the Mets after a 17-6, 2.70 ERA season, and reporting suggests New York could explore a long-term extension rather than treating him as a one-year addition.
