The Milwaukee Brewers are keen on parting ways with Devin Williams. The Brewers pitcher did not have a productive 2024 season, but his overall stats look great. Pat Murphy and his squad are eager to bolster their bullpen. With Williams on the trade block, they have a great chance to get what they want.
Milwaukee needs closers, and the Los Angeles Dodgers could make great use of a pitcher like Williams. The 30-year-old has a decent 27-10 record with a strong 1.83 ERA. Williams has 375 strikeouts and holds a 1.02 WHIP.
Tim Kelly from the Bleacher Report stated that the Dodgers will need someone to fill their spot. With Devin Williams in mind, both teams could benefit from the trade.
“They’ll either need to re-sign Teoscar Hernández or find someone else to fill that void in the outfield. And if (Devin) Williams and/or (Ryan) Helsley get traded, the Dodgers make sense as a landing spot for one of the star closers,” Kelly said.
The Dodgers have Brusdar Graterol on the injured list and they have not provided a qualifying offer for Walker Buehler. The Brewers could obtain a star pitcher from the Dodgers in return for Williams. The Dodgers have a strong farm system, something that the Brewers lack.
The Brew-Crew highly depends on homegrown players. Sending Williams to LA could bring them some powerful arms in return.
Devin Williams Is A Viable Trade Candidate For The Milwaukee Brewers
Devin Williams is a top trade candidate for the Milwaukee Brewers this off-season. It’s also the perfect time for the Brewers to trade Williams since his market value has increased. Williams will have one year of arbitration and could enter free agency. The Brewers will not want that to happen, especially since they have a better shot of getting what they want right now.
Since his market value has increased, they could push for a three-year deal with ease. Several teams are in need of pitchers. Apart from the Dodgers, small-market teams need pitchers like Williams.
It’s the right time for the Milwaukee Brewers to let go of Williams as they could reap the best from the trade. As for the Dodgers, they could settle with a decent trade deal. While these are just propositions, both teams are yet to decide on trade talks. However, it is possible for them to come to terms.
For now, Williams is a top trade target for Milwaukee and a few teams are expected to be ready to sign the star.
