Dodgers Bullpen Boost: Brewers Star Closer Rumoured to be on…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding high after winning another World Series title this past fall. Things are still looking up for Los Angeles as the offseason begins and they prepare to make another run in 2025.
They certainly aren’t going to settle with what they have. They’ll definitely look for other ways to improve their roster and try to bring in a few stars from the free agent market or in trades.
Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report predicted that the Dodgers might make a run at Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams.
“If Williams and/or [Ryan] Helsley get traded, the Dodgers make sense as a landing spot for one of the star closers,” Kelly wrote.
Williams missed much of 2024 due to a back injury, but when he returned, he was his usual dominant self. He appeared in 22 games and converted 14 saves in what could be his final year in Milwaukee, winning his only decision and posting a 1.25 ERA.
His club option for 2025 was declined, which means a trade from the Brewers is possible. The Dodgers would have to give up a significant haul of prospects, but they have the prospect capital to get something like this done.
Los Angeles already has Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech at the back end of their bullpen, but adding Williams would give them a truly scary trio as they try to repeat as World Series champions next year.
It will be interesting to see if the Dodgers decide to make a play for Williams.
