Yankees Acquire All-Star Closer Devin Williams from Brewers

The New York Yankees have announced a trade for All-Star closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers, sending left-hander Nestor Cortes and prospect Caleb Durbin in return. Williams, recovering from a back injury, led the league with a 1.25 ERA last season. The trade comes after the Yankees’ failed bid for Juan Soto, enhancing their bullpen as they prepare for the upcoming season. Cortes will join the Brewers' rotation, and the Yankees are reportedly pursuing further roster upgrades, demonstrating their ambition to contend in the upcoming season.
