That team? None other than <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-3-diamondbacks-trade-candidates-offseason">the Arizona Diamondbacks.</a> A report Saturday morning indicated that Arizona is <a href="https://x.com/Gambo987/status/1867806682312749467" rel="noopener">trying to improve their bullpen</a> and asked the Brewers about Williams.</p><p>“The Diamondbacks did inquire about closer Devin Williams who was traded from the Brewers to the Yankees today,” posted Phoenix-area sports radio host John Gambadoro on X, formerly Twitter. “Arizona is looking for bullpen help.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-dodgers-yankees-among-at-least-10-devin-williams-trade-suitors">Williams to the Diamondbacks</a> would have been interesting on a number of fronts. Arizona just missed out on making the postseason after winning the National League pennant in 2023. They are looking to retain key pieces, such as first baseman Christian Walker, as well as supplement to the team’s talent. GM Mike Hazen adding to an already deep bullpen fronted by veterans Paul Sewald and Ryan Thompson makes sense because it would just be another way for the team to shorten games. In today’s era of baseball, that’s more crucial than ever. Still, they will need to pursue other avenues, since Williams is now a Yankee. Who will the Diamondbacks pivot towards now?</p><h2><b>Diamondbacks, Yankees show path to dominant bullpen</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Yankees-RP-Devin-Williams.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After losing superstar outfielder Juan Soto to their in-city rivals, the Mets, GM Brian Cashman and the Yankees brass have been aggressive. Earlier this week, they inked ex-Atlanta Braves starter Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million deal. Hopefully, Fried turns into the co-ace that previous big signing Carlos Rodon was supposed to become. After missing out on stud Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (who was traded to Chicago Cubs earlier Friday), they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-brian-cashman-moves-devin-williams-trade">pivoted to bringing in Williams.</a></p><p>The former Milwaukee Brewer was excellent after returning from an IL stint that forced him to miss the first half of the season. He had 14 saves and a 1.25 ERA over the last two months of the season. The right-hander uses an elite changeup and cutter combination to go with an electric fastball. He’s been one of baseball’s best relievers since his debut, and it was only a matter of time before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-yankees-brewers-devin-williams-trade">the Brewers cashed in</a> on him.</p><p>The Yankees sent starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. and utility man Caleb Durbin to Milwaukee in return. A very solid return for a pitcher that the Brewers might have already replaced. They still boast quite a few strong bullpen pieces, like Joel Payamps and Trevor Megill, who is coming off a strong rookie campaign. Could it be possible for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-3-diamondbacks-trade-candidates-offseason">the Diamondbacks to entice</a> the Brewers to deal one of their other relief arms, maybe Payamps or fellow veteran Bryan Hudson? If so, then maybe a return trip to the postseason for Arizona could be in the cards come 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Inside the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-yankees-brewers-devin-williams-trade">Brewers’ trade return was standout pitcher Nestor Cortes</a>.</p><p>The left-hander had to miss the end of the regular season and New York’s first two postseason series due to an elbow flexor strain. However, <a href="https://x.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/1867666739024343517" rel="noopener">as he prepares to join</a> the Brewers, General Manager Matt Arnold is expecting a fully healthy Cortes, via Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.</p><p>Arnold stated that Cortes has had a fully healthy offseason. Furthermore, the GM said that Milwaukee put in plenty of leg work while going through the lefty’s medical records. Ultimately, when they signed off on the trade, the Brewers’ decision makers were confident Cortes will be ready to be a full-time difference maker in 2025.</p><p>Outside of one-year stops with the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners, Cortes has spent six of his seven major league seasons with the Yankees. In that time, he has recorded a 33-20 record with a 3.61 ERA and a 575/160 K/BB ratio. He was named an All-Star for the first and to this point only time in his career in 2022, when he posted a 12-4 record, 2.44 ERA and 163/38 K/BB ratio.</p><p>Even with all his late season injuries, Nestor Cortes still appeared in 31 games for the Yankees in 2024. He pitched to a 9-10 record, 3.77 ERA and 162/39 K/BB ratio over a career-high 174.1 innings pitched.</p><p>With Freddy Peralta atop their rotation, Milwaukee finished fifth in ERA (3.65) during the 2024 season. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-christian-yelich-brandon-woodruff-spring-training-injury-updates">Brandon Woodruff is still dealing with a worrying injury</a>. Furthermore, the Brewers will have no problem building on a position of strength as long as the Chicago <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cubs-news-mlb-world-shambles-after-astros-cubs-kyle-tucker-trade">Cubs are making a push</a>.</p><p>While Milwaukee had to losing Devin Williams to make the deal happen, it seemed inevitable. He is set to be a free agent after the 2025 campaign and earn a big contract.</p><p>Despite losing their closer, the Brewers are still the defending NL Central champions. With a healthy Cortes, Arnold is confident Milwaukee can run it back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the way they operate means that they will have to cut costs nearly every year, costing them ace Corbin Burnes last offseason. This year, it looks as though <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-devin-williams-trade-destinations">Milwaukee will have to bid farewell</a> to All-Star closer Devin Williams, who didn’t exactly cover himself in glory the last time he stepped foot on the mound.</p><p>Regardless of the sour note that Williams’ Brewers tenure seems to have ended, the 30-year-old closer is expected to draw a ton of interest on the trade market. Over the past decade or so, contending teams have come to the conclusion that they can never have enough elite bullpen arms, and thus, it is not exactly a surprise to see Williams <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5983167/2024/12/09/devin-williams-brewers-trade-mlb-winter-meetings/" rel="noopener">draw significant attention</a> from the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, with the two 2024 World Series finalists leading the pack of as many as 10 suitors for the Brewers closer, as per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic.</p><p>But it won’t be easy for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-dodgers-devin-williams-trade-willy-adames">Dodgers and Yankees to acquire Williams</a> from the Brewers, as they cannot just throw money at Milwaukee and hope that they win the bidding war. Williams will require prospect capital to move from one team to the other, which should at least open up the sweepstakes to the Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers, and even the Los Angeles Angels.</p><p>The Brewers may go out and target starting pitching prospects that aren’t too far from the big leagues in any Williams trade; it’s about the team that ponies up the best prospect capital that should win the sweepstakes in the end.</p><h2><b>Devin Williams’ Brewers stint may have come to an end in the worst way possible</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Brewers-pitcher-Devin-Williams-38-is-relieved-in-the-ninth-inning.jpg"><figcaption>© Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Devin Williams’ potential <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-devin-williams-support-gm-game-3">last moment pitching as a member of the Brewers</a> has a chance to be the rock bottom of his career even though he should still have plenty of good years in front of him.

In 73 games, he hit .315 with 11 home runs and a .909 OPS. Arnold said that Yelich <a href="https://x.com/Todd_Rosiak/status/1866263091207352385" rel="noopener">isn’t yet swinging a bat</a>, but he is “doing other baseball movements and should hit the ground running early in Spring Training,” according to a post from Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.</p><p>“I think that was a big part of why he had the surgery sooner than later,” Arnold added. “He’s in a really good spot right now.”</p><p>Before his injury, Yelich seemed to be enjoying a career resurgence. His numbers weren’t exactly bad in the prior seasons, but the 32-year-old appeared to have fallen off from his 2018 National League MVP form. From 2018-19, Yelich hit .327, averaging 40 home runs with a 1.046 OPS. 2024 represented Yelich’s first All-Star selection since that stretch.</p><p>Yelich is in the midst of a nine-year, $215 million contract extension that he signed with the Brewers in 2020. He’s due to make $26 million in 2025.</p><h2><b>Brewers P Brandon Woodruff may not be ready for Opening Day</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Brandon-Woodruff.jpg"><figcaption>Rich Storry-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While Arnold seemed optimistic about Yelich, <a href="https://x.com/Todd_Rosiak/status/1866263897378046159" rel="noopener">he was less sure</a> about Woodruff, preaching caution as the team works to get him back on a mound for the first time since 2023.</p><p>“It’s hard to say at the moment [whether he will be in the rotation to open the season],” Arnold said. “I think certainly, we have expectations that he’ll be part of our rotation. We also want to be cautious with him and his health.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-brandon-woodruff-final-decision-on-pitching-in-2024-season">Woodruff underwent right shoulder surgery</a> shortly after the 2023 season ended. Expecting him to miss all of 2024, the Brewers non-tendered him, then re-signed him to a two-year deal worth $7.5 million, with a whopping $20 million mutual option for a third year, provided he can recapture his old form.</p><p>That old form is worth every bit of the $20 million the Brewers could pay him in 2026. In 11 starts in 2023, he pitched to a 2.28 ERA with a 0.821 WHIP. That’s hardly an anomaly from an injury-shortened season, either. The two-time All-Star had the best three-year stretch of his career from 2021-23, building a 2.84 ERA over 70 starts in that span.</p><p>Adding Woodruff back to the fold would strengthen a Brewers rotation that held its own in 2024 despite being short-handed. Part of that is because of rookie revelation Tobias Myers. Freddy Peralta was a consistent front-end presence as well. Both should return and combine with Woodruff to give the Brewers a formidable rotation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The negative would be price and considering the Brewers’ ability to develop prospects, it could be very costly. But they picked up two pro-ready players in the Burnes trade and have an excess to deal from. The White Sox should look at Milwaukee because of their sterling record of developing prospects.</p><p>The White Sox are in a deep rebuild after a 121-loss season.

One part of their team they have not addressed yet is their bullpen.</p><p>The Dodgers currently do not have an elite arm at the back-end of their bullpen, but this <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5968557/2024/12/04/mlb-trade-proposals-winter-meetings/" rel="noopener">trade proposal</a> from Jim Bowden of The Athletic changes that. Bowden suggests that the Dodgers would send infielder Gavin Lux and pitching prospect Justin Wrobleski to the Milwaukee Brewers for closer Devin Williams. Bowden also says that in this scenario where the Dodgers trade away Lux, they could also sign free agent and former Brewers shortstop Willy Adames.</p><p>“After landing another ace for their rotation in Blake Snell, it’s time for the Dodgers to address the back end of their bullpen,” Bowden wrote. “In return for an impact closer like Williams, the Brewers could get shortstop Gavin Lux, who would replace Willy Adames at shortstop and allow Joey Ortiz to play third base. They would also need to get a pitcher back in the deal and perhaps Justin Wrobleski, a 24-year-old lefty who posted a 3.76 ERA in 20 appearances (18 starts) between Double A and Triple A last season, would work for both teams.”</p><p>“And to replace Lux, the Dodgers could sign Adames to play shortstop,” Bowden continued. “The rich get richer.”</p><h2><b>Will the Milwaukee Brewers trade closer Devin Williams?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12-04-24-devin-williams-image.jpeg"><figcaption>© Benny Sieu-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After declining his 2025 club option, it appears as if <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-devin-williams-trade-destinations">Williams’ days with the Brewers are numbered</a>. Even though Williams is one of the best closers in baseball, the Brewers have a history of trading their star players as they approach the end of their contracts before they hit free agency. That is one of the ways that the Brewers, even though they play in one of baseball’s smallest markets, have stayed competitive.</p><p>After missing the first half of the 2024 season with a back injury, Williams recorded 14 saves in 22 appearances with a 1.25 ERA and 15.8 SO/9. This was Williams’ third-straight season with a sub-2.00 ERA.</p><p>Williams is known for his elite “Airbender” changeup, one of the best individual pitches in all of baseball.</p><p>While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-brewers-wait-july-trade-devin-williams">Brewers may decide to wait until the trade deadline</a> when potential contenders get more desperate for bullpen help to move Williams, if the Dodgers come calling with an offer of Lux and Wrobleski, it would be difficult to say no.</p><p>Lux would immediately slot into the Brewers’ starting shortstop role assuming Adames leaves in free agency and Wrobleski, the No. 6 prospect in the Dodgers system, could push for a spot on the Brewers’ Major League roster.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While they faltered in the playoffs once again, it was a strong season for Pat Murphy’s club. The small-market team is looking to add but won’t be in on the big free agents this offseason. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that the Brewers <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/11/25/mlb-rumors-juan-soto-latest-news-trade-market/76556552007/" rel="noopener">are interested in</a> Paul Goldschmidt in free agency. But there is one thing standing in the way.</p><p>“The Brewers would love to find a way to get former Cardinals All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt on their roster, and would have been all-in if first baseman Rhys Hoskins had opted out of his contract,” Nightengale reported.</p><p>The Brewers signed Hoskins to a two-year contract last offseason to play first base. He had his worst offensive season in his return from an injury that kept him out the entire 2023 season. That forced <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-rhys-hoskins-returns-milwaykee-after-18-million-option-choice">Hoskins to pick up his player option for 2025</a>. There is a mutual option for next season, so there is an out coming soon for Milwaukee.</p><p>Goldschmidt is coming off a similar offensive season for the Cardinals and is much older. He would have been a nice replacement for Hoskins but now the Brewers do not need that.</p><h2><b>If not the Brewers, where could Paul Goldschmidt go?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Paul-Goldschmidt-with-STL-Cardinals.jpg"><figcaption>Robert Edwards-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The report from Nightengale seems to eliminate the Brewers from the Paul Goldschmidt sweepstakes. It is logical, as they need to use as much money to bolster other parts of their lineup as possible. If they are that infatuated with Goldschmidt, he will likely sign a one-year deal and be available next year. So where could Goldschmidt sign?</p><p>One team that needs a first baseman is the Yankees. This would be another stopgap option at the position, continuing a trend since Mark Texiera’s retirement. But getting a veteran to help shepherd Ben Rice along would be huge for the Bombers. Low-cost moves will also be important if they keep Juan Soto.</p><p>In the division with the Cardinals and Brewers, the Pirates could use a first baseman. They had <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-pittsburgh-surprising-roster-moves">Rowdy Tellez last season but cut him</a> toward the end of the season. Bringing in another veteran to kickstart their lineup would be huge. They have a 17-game gap to make up on the Brewers so every little bit helps.</p><p>The Mariners are another team looking for a first baseman and a slugger. Their ballpark is traditionally difficult to hit in, so it would be a test for the former MVP. If he was able to crack the Seattle code, it would be huge for the franchise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Milwaukee did not waver, relying on a scintillating blend of experience and youthful energy to stay on top.</p><p>William Contreras and Willy Adames stepped up, rookies Jackson Chourio and Tobias Myers quickly came of age and the bullpen stifled batters (until the playoffs, at least). Pat Murphy tied everything together by displaying strong leadership and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-jackson-chourio-important-pat-murphy-advice">showing great trust</a> in his players.</p><p>The postseason ended in heartbreak, continuing a troubling trend for the Brewers, but the 2024 season is still a testament to the elevating effect the right manager can have on a team. Murphy and the fan base should take satisfaction in this Manager of the Year award. Now, it is time for Milwaukee to take the next step forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After declining his 2025 club option, all signs point towards the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-brewers-wait-july-trade-devin-williams">Brewers being open to trading Williams</a>.</p><p>Even though Williams is one of the best closers in baseball, the Brewers have a history of trading their star players as they approach the end of their contracts before they hit free agency. That is one of the ways that the Brewers, even though they play in one of baseball’s smallest markets, have stayed competitive.</p><p>In 2024, after missing the first half of the season with a back injury, Williams recorded 14 saves in 22 appearances with a 1.25 ERA and 15.8 SO/9. This was Williams’ third-straight season with a sub-2.00 ERA.</p><p>Williams is known for his elite “Airbender” changeup, one of the best individual pitches in all of baseball.</p><p>While the Brewers may wait until the trade deadline in July to move Williams, it is clear that they will be listening to offers. Any team that is looking to contend should be willing to offer a hefty price for the two-time All-Star.</p><p>Last offseason, the Brewers traded Corbin Burnes, who also had one year left on his contract, to the Orioles for a hefty price. They got infield prospect Joey Ortiz, who at the time was the No. 63 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, and pitcher DL Hall, a promising young Major League arm. While Williams should command a bit less than Burnes as a closer compared to a No. 1 starter, it would not be out of the realm of possibility for the Brewers to demand a top-100-level prospect.</p><p>Here are the three teams that are most likely to try and make a deal with the Brewers for Devin Williams.</p><h2><b>3. New York Yankees fix issues that cost them World Series, trade for Devin Williams</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-15-24-clay-holmes-image.jpeg"><figcaption>© Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>One of the biggest reasons why the New York Yankees fell short in the World Series was due to their bullpen. Whether it was manager Aaron Boone choosing to use starting pitcher Nestor Cortes instead of reliever Tim Hill in the 10th inning of Game 1 or reliever Tommy Kahnle blowing the Yankees’ lead and allowing 2 runs during his eighth inning appearance in Game 5, it is clear that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-yankees-main-free-agency-priority-juan-soto">Yankees need some bullpen upgrades</a>. Yes, Luke Weaver stepped into the closer role and performed admirably in the postseason, there is room for improvement.</p><p>Clay Holmes, Hill and Kahnle are all free agents this offseason, so even with Weaver back in the fold there are still a lot of relief innings up for grabs.</p><p>The biggest roadblock for the Yankees in potentially acquiring Williams is their lack of elite prospects. The only Yankee in MLB Pipeline’s Top-100 is Jasson Dominguez. Especially if the Yankees are unable to re-sign superstar free agent Juan Soto, Dominguez is a key piece for the Yankees’ future.</p><p>However, if they are able to piece together a deal centered around their system’s No. 2 prospect, outfielder Spencer Jones, along with some Major League talent like the versatile Oswaldo Cabrera, that could just be enough.</p><h2><b>2. Boston Red Sox go all in this offseason, use top prospects and young talent to trade for Devin Williams</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-19-24-jansen-image.jpeg"><figcaption>© Eric Canha-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-alex-cora-reveals-red-sox-aggressive-offseason-plans">Boston Red Sox are reportedly going to be one of the most aggressive</a> teams this offseason, both in free agency and in the trade market. One of the areas they need to improve the most: their bullpen. Kenley Jansen, who was the Red Sox’s closer the last two seasons, and Chris Martin, who was the primary setup man, are both free agents. While the Red Sox could bring Martin back, Jansen looks like he is ready to leave Boston after his leaving the team before their final regular season game.</p><p>If the Red Sox want to, they have the most amount of prospect capital and a significant amount of young, Major League talent to blow any other team’s potential offer to the Brewers for Williams out of the water.</p><p>While they would be unlikely to include any of their top four prospects, outfielder Roman Anthony, outfielder/infielder Kristian Campbell, shortstop Marcelo Mayer or catcher Kyle Teel, some of their mid-level prospects would still be very appealing. If the Brewers want Major League talent, players like 25-year-old Wilyer Abreu, who won a Gold Glove in right field in his rookie year last season or 28-year-old starter Kutter Crawford could be appealing options.</p><p>The Red Sox would be most likely to pursue Williams if they have a successful free agency and are able to bring in players like Soto, Burnes, Max Fried or Blake Snell and believe that they are a closer way from being true World Series contenders.</p><h2><b>1. Dave Dombrowski makes Philadelphia Phillies World Series favorites </b></h2><p>© Wendell Cruz-Imagn ImagesThe Philadelphia Phillies are desperate to win a World Series. After making it to the Fall Classic in 2022 and losing to the Houston Astros, getting bounced in the NLCS by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023 and most recently, getting beat by the New York Mets in the NLDS this past season, it would not be surprising to see the Phillies make a big splash this offseason.</p><p>President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is known for being willing to pull the trigger on major deals for All-Star-quality players like Williams. Especially with Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez, two of the Phillies’ top bullpen arms, being free agents, the closer role could be a significant area of need for the Phillies.</p><p>Even if Hoffman and Estevez return to the Phillies, bringing Williams into the fold could give Philadelphia one of, if not the best bullpens and pitching staffs in all of baseball. A bullpen led by Williams combined with an elite starting rotation of Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Ranger Suarez and Cristopher Sanchez could make the Phillies World Series favorites.</p><p>While they would be unlikely to include their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-philadelphia-top-prospect-100-real-fall-league-performance">top prospect, pitcher Andrew Painter</a>, it would not be surprising to see Dombrowski amke almost everyone else in the Phillies’ minor league system available for the Brewers for Williams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The NL ROTY honor ultimately came down to a two man race between Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Paul Skenes and San Diego Padres’ center fielder Jackson Merrill, with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-news-paul-skenes-beats-jackson-merrill-nl-rookie-of-the-year">Skenes winning NL Rookie of the Year</a>.</p><p>However, Chourio’s top-three finish among all National League rookies is an impressive feat. The young <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/jackson-chourio-3rd-place-nl-rookie-of-the-year-award?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share" rel="noopener">outfielder credits</a> first-year Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy. “[Murphy] always trusted in me… He always told me, ‘You have to understand that this is a process for you. You’re in the big leagues. Everything is going to get better for you. Keep doing what you’re doing, working hard,’” Chourio said, per Adam McCalvy on MLB.com.</p><p>“That was one of the most important things that happened for me to finish the way I did,” Chourio added.</p><p>Murphy was hired as the Brewers’ manager after spending eight seasons with the team as a coach. Under his guidance Milwaukee once again captured the NL Central, improving on their 2023 record of 92-70 by one game.</p><p>But the 2024 season was particularly special. Milwaukee lost former MVP Christian Yelich to a back injury in July. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-christian-yelich-out-for-year-back-surgery">Yelich would ultimately need season-ending surgery</a>. While it’s nearly impossible for a small market team like the Brewers to replace a player of Yelich’s caliber in the middle of the season, Chourio stepped up. The rookie produced 29 doubles, 21 home runs, 79 RBI, 80 runs scored and 22 stolen bases with an OPS of .791 and 3.8 WAR in 148 games for Milwaukee.</p><h2><b>Brewers’ rookie Jackson Chourio turned in a sensational debut season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jackson-Chourio.jpg"><figcaption>Mark Hoffman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-jackson-chourio-surpasses-legends-historic-feat">Chourio made MLB history</a> as the youngest player ever to have a 20/20 season – hitting 20 home runs and stealing 20 bases.

If the talented, young outfielder’s 2024 season is any indication, that contract will end up being a bargain.</p><p>Unfortunately, Milwaukee’s postseason results remained the same, as the team was bounced from the first round of the playoffs, losing to the New York Mets in the Wild Card Series.</p><p>The Brewers have made the playoffs in six of the last seven years. But the team has lost in the first round five straight times. Milwaukee last won a postseason series in 2018. Since then, the Brewers have gone just 2-10 in postseason play, never advancing past the Division Series.</p><p>Despite the disappointing finish to the season, the Brewers appear to be on the right track.

While the Brewers’ season ultimately ended with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-news-pat-murphy-tragedy-take-painful-meltdown-vs-mets">painful meltdown against the New York Mets</a> in the Wild Card round, the team boasted one of baseball’s top bullpens in 2024.</p><p>However, Milwaukee is well known for its aversion to spending money on long-term contracts. So the team is on the hunt for upside deals that will keep spending in check.</p><p>With that <a href="https://x.com/jeffpassan/status/1858611962814624244?t=YAm5wwmcnC6J27chz4RDIQ" rel="noopener">strategy in mind</a>, the Brewers signed Deivi Garcia to a minor-league deal, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan on X. Garcia is a former top New York Yankees’ prospect who has struggled to find success at the big-league level despite possessing an array of quality pitches.</p><p>At one time, Garcia appeared to be on a trajectory to becoming an important reliever for the Yankees. He was named the organization’s minor-league pitcher of the year in 2019 and was the Yankees’ third-overall prospect.</p><p>The young righty made his major-league debut in 2020 and even pitched for New York in the ALDS that year. However, he was sent back to the minors, where he’d remain until the Yankees converted him to a relief pitcher in 2023. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-bullpen-depth-deivi-garcia-jimmy-cordero-suspension">Yankees recalled Garcia from Triple-A</a> late in that season, but he only managed one appearance before being sent back to the minors.</p><h2><b>The Brewers are taking a chance on former Yankees reliever Deivi Garcia</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Deivi-Garcia.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite posting a 1.59 ERA in 5.2 major-league innings in 2023, Garcia struggled in Triple-A, and the Yankees designated him for assignment in August. Just days later, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-pitching-depth-deivi-garcia-yankees">Chicago White Sox claimed Garcia</a>.</p><p>He pitched well for Chicago in September with a 2.89 ERA in six appearances. That stretch earned him a spot in the White Sox’s bullpen at the start of 2024. But after struggling early, Garcia was designated for assignment. He became a free agent after the season.</p><p>Milwaukee appears poised to make some significant changes to the bullpen for 2025. The Brewers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-devin-williams-decision-brewers-trade-buzz">declined closer Devin Williams $10.5 million team option</a>, making him a free agent after next season. The move has created rumors that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-devin-williams-ryan-helsley-trades-expected-this-winter">Brewers intend to trade Williams</a> either during the offseason or at the deadline in 2025.</p><p>Garcia obviously isn’t a replacement for Williams, who has won the NL Reliever of the Year twice. But Garcia is indicative of the Brewers’ general approach as the team hopes to find value in a cheap but talented arm.</p><p>Despite reaching the postseason six times in the last seven years, the Brewers have consistently been bounced from the playoffs in the first round. Milwaukee last won a postseason series in 2018 when they defeated the Colorado Rockies in the NLDS. Since then, the Brewers lost in the first round of the playoffs five-straight times with a 2-10 record in that span.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
