Following the team’s decision, the risk of Devin Williams leaving the Milwaukee Brewers is quite high reject the option to extend his contract. The organization won’t let him go without getting something in return.
MLB 2025 free agency is now open and many believe Williams will be one of the most sought-after on the market. The New York Yankees are seeking his services, but another American League club may threaten their chances of getting closer to the elite.
This is because the other team has so much more to offer compared to the Yankees.
FanSided’s David Gasper suggested that the 2023 champion Texas Rangers should close their eyes in search of a closer and Williams should be on their radar.
“The Texas Rangers won the World Series in 2023, and instead of making a serious bid for a repeat, they are a long way from winning a postseason championship in 2024. Much of the problem was the lack of pitching. Injuries devastated the staff, with Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer and Tyler Mahle all unable to rely on their rotation, and the bullpen was severely lacking,” he wrote.
He added that the Rangers may be a more desirable trade partner for the Brewers because the former already have players ready to play in the major leagues.
Why the Yankees should be interested in Devin Williams
At this time, the Yankees have not expressed any intention to pursue the 2020 National League Rookie of the Year honor.
However, many experts believe that this is the right thing for them to do, considering their needs Target a 30-year-old right-handed pitcher who is expected to earn $8 million after arbitration.
Last season, Luke Weaver was the most crucial player in the team, but apart from him there is no one reliable enough. Nowadays, most teams do battle with their best pitcher.
The Brewers are also a team that wants to maximize opportunities when it comes to their free agents.
