A couple of weeks earlier, reports emerged the Milwaukee Brewers might be open up to dealing away their All-Star better Devin Williams this winter season. Those reports never ever truly made much sense as Milwaukee still seeks to compete, however there were still numerous groups thinking about Williams.
Groups like the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Boston Red Sox were all apparent landing areas for the Brewers better, however Bob Nightengale of USA Today has actually reported Milwaukee will keep its closer till the All-Star break in 2025.
“The Milwaukee Brewers prepare to hang onto closer Devin Williams up until a minimum of the All-Star break and will re-evaluate whether to keep him or trade him,” Nightengale composed.

The Brewers are definitely making the proper choice here. More than likely, they’ll remain in contention at the trade due date in 2025 and they’ll choose to keep Williams. They might even check out an agreement extension with the star pitcher. Spotrac jobs his next agreement to be for 5 years, $70 million.
If the Brewers do wind up wishing to move him before the due date next season, they’ll have lots of suitors to select from. His market will be as hot, if not hotter than Tanner Scott’s was last season.
Anticipate to see the very same group of groups appear in the reports consisting of the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers. Groups like the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Toronto Blue Jays, and others might wind up in these conversations if they’re in a position to win the department or contend for a postseason berth.
