The New York Yankees have finalized a trade to acquire All-Star closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers, sending left-hander Nestor Cortes and infield prospect Caleb Durbin to Milwaukee, along with over $1 million.
Williams, known for his impressive 'Airbender' changeup, had a strong season with a 1.25 ERA and 14 saves. Cortes, an All-Star in 2022, faced injury challenges this season but has shown promise in his career. Durbin, a rising prospect, showcased significant potential in the minors.
