2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams missed the first four months of the 2024 season due to fractures in his back, but reclaimed closing duties for Milwaukee upon his return in late-July. Once healthy, he proved he was still one of the best closers in baseball, racking up 14 saves in 15 chances with a 1.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 21.2 innings. Williams' 12.5 percent walk rate was not an unusual blemish, but the right-hander maintained a remarkable 30.7 K-BB percentage thanks to a 43.2 percent strikeout rate that led relievers who pitched a minimum of 20 innings. Set to become a free-agent after the 2025 campaign, Williams was a candidate to be traded this winter and the Yankees swooped in to acquire the All-Star closer. The 30-year-old continues to be a top-5 option for 2025 saves. Read Past Outlooks

Picks up 11th save
Williams earned the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Athletics, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Williams had another strong outing out of the bullpen, using 15 pitches (11 strikes) to retire the side. The 30-year-old closer has registered six saves in June and has not yielded a run over his last eight outings. Williams now sports a 4.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season, and for the time being, he appears to be the Yankees' preferred closer over Luke Weaver.

After another spectacular season in 2023, Williams finds himself at the center of trade rumors - similar to former teammate Josh Hader a few years ago. Williams is under team control for 2 more seasons before he becomes a free-agent in 2026 and there's no question he would command a haul if Milwaukee were to trade him. For now, the 2-time All-Star enters 2024 as the Brewers' unquestioned closer after tallying a career-high 36 saves last season. Williams' devastating "Airbender" changeup remained effective (.097 BAA), while his mid-90's 4-seamer generated a career-best 42% whiff rate. His walk rate was poor, but consistent with recent outputs and he improved his ratios for the second consecutive year. The right hander's 1.53 ERA was 6th-best among qualified relievers, while his 0.92 WHIP was 4th-best. Consistency is what you can expect from Williams, who is a candidate to be the first closer off the board in drafts this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

No contract extension talks
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said last week that there have been "no conversations, internally or externally" about a contract extension for Williams, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams, for what it's worth, said Tuesday that an extension is "definitely an option" if it makes sense for both parties, per Jack Curry of YES Network. Acquired by the Yankees last week, is projected to make around $8 million in 2025 in his final year of arbitration eligibility before reaching free agency next offseason. The club's stance could change in the future, but for now it sounds like the Yankees are comfortable in letting Williams' walk year play out rather than locking him up to a long-term deal now.
