"Williams, 31, has been one of the most successful relievers in the game ever since he won the NL Rookie of the Year award with the Brewers back in 2020. In parts of six seasons with Milwaukee, Williams made a case for himself as baseball's best reliever with a 1.83 ERA and a 39.4% strikeout rate in 235 2/3 innings of work."
"Ahead of his final season of team control, the Brewers made the decision last offseason to deal Williams to the Yankees in exchange for southpaw Nestor Cortes Jr. and infielder Caleb Durbin. Williams's year in the Bronx did not go how anyone was expecting it to, however, as he struggled significantly for the first time in his career. Williams posted a lackluster 4.79 ERA in 62 innings for the Yankees."
The Marlins finished 79-83 and ended four games short of a playoff spot. The team intends to pursue upgrades in the bullpen and position-player markets. Miami plans to target two-time All-Star reliever Devin Williams as a potential late-inning addition. Williams earned NL Rookie of the Year in 2020 and compiled a 1.83 ERA and 39.4% strikeout rate in 235 2/3 innings with Milwaukee. Milwaukee traded him to the Yankees for Nestor Cortes Jr. and Caleb Durbin. Williams struggled in New York, posting a 4.79 ERA in 62 innings. The dip in value could create an acquisition opportunity for the cost-conscious Marlins.
