The Milwaukee Brewers could move star closer Devin Williams to another team before the start of the 2024 MLB season.
Although he still is on the team, there have been countless rumors about a potential Williams trade, with the Los Angeles Dodgers being part of the conversation as well.
The Dodgers just won a World Series and remain laden with elite, superstar talents. But they were not without issues last season. One area they can improve on before the 2025 campaign is their bullpen, and Williams could be the answer to that particular concern.

Anytime the Dodgers have a need around their roster, they are guaranteed to have the resources to fill it properly. The reigning World Champions don’t have very many ways they need to upgrade their roster this offseason, but a look at their depth chart suggests they don’t have a true closer.
Michael Kopech and Evan Phillips both earned over 15 saves this past season, but bringing Williams into the fold would allow each of the other two to fill the “stopper” roles in the Dodgers’ bullpen. L.A. has the prospect depth needed to pull off a trade and the Brewers could even target someone who’s big-league ready like Wisconsinite Gavin Lux in talks.
Could a Devin Williams trade from Milwaukee Brewers to Los Angeles Dodgers happen?
As for the Dodgers, acquiring Williams would boost their bullpen which was just 13th in the big leagues in 2024 with a 3.92 ERA and 21st overall with a 4.18 FIP.
