Brewers Bullpen a Likely Trade Source This Offseason
Milwaukee’s bullpen presents a logical trade avenue for the Brewers this offseason, according to reports, as the front office seeks to address needs without depleting core roster pieces or top prospects. The team possesses sufficient relief depth to absorb potential departures.
Reliever Devin Williams is positioned as the most valuable trade chip. MLB trade Rumors projects Williams to earn $4.2 million in arbitration, a figure expected to increase significantly if he continues to excel as a closer.Williams initially established himself in Milwaukee after being designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins.
Beyond williams, Nick Mears and Rob Zastryzny are identified as potential trade candidates.Both are out of minor league options, a factor that could restrict the Brewers’ roster versatility in 2026.
The Brewers could opt to trade these relievers individually or as part of larger packages to acquire assets addressing other areas of need.
