4/14/25 | Yankees Might Surprisingly Trade For Ex-Red Sox, Dodgers $10 Million Reliever. A former Boston Red Sox closer could soon be wearing pinstripes for the New York Yankees — a cringey image in every Red Sox fan's mind. In case you haven't noticed, the Yankees' new All-Star closer has been awful so far in 2025. When New York acquired Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers in December, the Yankees assumed they were getting the type of closer who won National League Reliever of the Year in 2020 and 2023. Williams has struggled mightily out of the gate for the Bronx Bombers, however, and if things don't improve in the next couple of months, New York could consider replacing Williams with a more solid option.

4/10/25 | Ex-Brewers Star Has Already Allowed More Runs This Season Than In Entirety Of 2024. The Milwaukee Brewers parted ways with one of the best pitchers in baseball over the winter, and the ex-Brewer is struggling in his new home. The Brew Crew has been known to ship out players on expiring deals to capitalize on their return value, as the small market club doesn't have the financial flexibility to sign marquee free agents or offer large deals to their stars. Due to this, Milwaukee traded right-hander Devin Williams to the New York Yankees over the winter for left-hander Nestor Cortes and second baseman Caleb Durbin. Checking in on our old friend, the righty hasn't found his footing in New York and has already allowed four earned runs this season, after only allowing three last year in Milwaukee -- along with an unfavorable stat line.

New York just endured a campaign in which Clay Holmes tied the franchise record for most blown saves in a single season. Williams simply hasn't been good.
