The Milwaukee Brewers traded two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams to the New York Yankees earlier this week. In return, Milwaukee acquired left-handed starting pitcher Nestor Cortes and infield prospect Caleb Durbin (who has played in Wisconsin before).<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Cortes, who was 9-10 with a 3.77 ERA for the Yankees last year, figures to slide into the Brewers starting rotation behind Freddie Peralta, Brandon Woodruff, and Tobias Myers. Durbin, who plays second base and third base, gives Milwaukee flexibility on the infield as they try to replace shortstop\u00a0Willy Adames.<\/p>\n
As one might have figured, the Yankees were not the only team interested in Williams. They just offered Milwaukee the best package that suited their needs.<\/p>\n

One of the teams that was long rumored to be interested in acquiring Williams was the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to Blake Williams of\u00a0Dodger Blue,\u00a0<\/em>the Dodgers actually had an offer on the table for the two-time NL Reliever of the Year, an offer the Brewers rejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the Brewers and Yankees agreed to the trade, Gavin Lux was included in talks between the Dodgers and Brewers for Williams, and the framework for a deal discussed between the two clubs also included Hunter Feduccia, according to a source,\u201d\u00a0Williams wrote.<\/p>\n
Lux hit .251\/.320\/.383 with 10 home runs and 50 RBI for Los Angeles in 2024. Feduccia, a catching prospect, made his Major League debut last year and hit .333\/.429\/.333 with an RBI in five games. Down in Triple-A last season, he hit .284\/.409\/.428 with six home runs and 50 RBI.<\/p>\n
Why Did the Milwaukee Brewers Reject the Dodgers\u2019 Offer for Devin Williams?<\/h2>\nMar 24, 2024; Bradenton, Florida, USA; New York Yankees infielder Caleb Durbin (87) throws the ball for an out during the second inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at LECOM Park.

He also stated in his report that it was Durbin, not Cortes, who piqued Milwaukee\u2019s interest the most. Williams states that the Brewers believe they can have the young infielder take over second base and move Brice Turang over to shortstop.<\/p>\n
There is, however, one problem with this report: Brewers manager Pat Murphy already insinuated Joey Ortiz will be the team\u2019s shortstop in 2025. When asked on\u00a0Foul Territory\u00a0if Ortiz or Turang will be the team\u2019s shortstop next season, Murphy said, \u201cThe decision will be one or the other. My tendency is probably to leave Brice alone because he\u2019s as special as you can see at second base.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turang, of course, won the NL Gold Glove Award at second base and earned the National League\u2019s Platinum Glove. While he is certainly capable of playing shortstop, it may not make sense to make him switch positions.<\/p>\n
The positive thing about Durbin is that he can play both second and third, as mentioned earlier. Whichever player, Ortiz or Turang, replaces Adames defensively, Durbin can earn a job taking over for either of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
