The New York Yankees are acquiring closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for left-hander Nestor Cortes, infield prospect Caleb Durbin and cash considerations, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
A two-time All-Star, Williams has established himself as one of the top relievers in baseball over the last five seasons behind an elite changeup known as "The Airbender." He will slide into the back end of a Yankees bullpen that lost Clay Holmes to free agency and could also lose free agent Tommy Kahnle.
