New York Teams Eye Brewers' Devin Williams in Potential Trades

Both the Yankees and Mets are considering moves to acquire Milwaukee's standout closer, Devin Williams, after the Brewers declined his 2025 option.

The Yankees are exploring a trade for Devin Williams to bolster their bullpen, which faced challenges late in the 2024 season.
Williams, a two-time All-Star with a 1.25 ERA in 2024, is a free agent after 2025, making him an attractive but short-term option.
The Mets could pair Williams with Edwin Diaz, creating a formidable bullpen duo as they look to fill pitching staff vacancies.
Trade proposals suggest the Yankees might offer top pitching prospects, while the Mets could part with infielder Luisangel Acuña and third baseman Brett Baty.
Milwaukee's decision to decline Williams' $10.5 million option was influenced by his upcoming free agency and potential trade value.
