MLB Rumors: Devin Williams Seen as Trade Candidate as Brewers Decline Contract Option

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams is considered a trade candidate after the team declined his $10.5 million club option, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Per Passan, Williams will receive a $250,000 buyout and remain with the Brewers. He's expected to make roughly $9 million in his final year of arbitration.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post noted that Milwaukee declined the 30-year-old's club option because he should get a lower salary in arbitration due to injuries that caused him to miss time.
