The New York Yankees have finalized a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, acquiring All-Star closer Devin Williams. In return, the Brewers receive left-handed starter Nestor Cortes, infield prospect Caleb Durbin, and cash considerations.

Williams, who posted a 1.25 ERA last season despite injury setbacks, is a dominant reliever with a high strikeout rate. The Yankees aim to bolster their bullpen following the departure of Clay Holmes, while the Brewers gain a versatile starter in Cortes.
