Devin Williams, a standout closer for the Milwaukee Brewers, is set to join the New York Yankees for the 2025 season. This move comes as the Brewers finalize a deal that sends Williams to New York in exchange for pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. and infield prospect Caleb Durbin.

Williams, a two-time All-Star, had a successful 2023 season with 36 saves and a 1.25 ERA, despite missing part of the previous season due to injuries. The Yankees aim to bolster their bullpen with this acquisition, addressing a significant weakness from last season.
