The New York Yankees traded for Devin Williams to strengthen their bullpen, parting with Nestor Cortes and minor-leaguer Caleb Durbin, both entering final contract years.
With Max Fried on board, the Yankees had enough starting pitching options to move Cortes, especially given his injury history, making the trade logical.
Williams boasts a sub-2.00 ERA since 2022 and has struck out 221 batters in 141 innings, establishing himself as one of baseball's elite relievers.
While fans may hesitate to expect a long-term commitment from Williams, it appears this trade is primarily focused on bolstering the team for 2025.
