Ex-Yankees Prospect Making Team Regret Trading Him For Failed Reliever
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees traded for Devin Williams this offseason, and the move has turned out worse than anyone could have imagined. Williams was a two-time All-Star with the Milwaukee Brewers. He is also a two-time Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year Award winner. However, with the Yankees, he has a 5.32 ERA and has been removed from the closer's role. Not only is he no longer the closer, but he is not even being trusted in leverage situations. He will be a free agent after the year, and likely will be playing elsewhere. However, to make matters worse, one of the players traded away is a key player on the best team in baseball right now. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - AUGUST 6: Caleb Durbin #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers smiles during batting practice before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on August 6, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - AUGUST 6: Caleb Durbin #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers smiles during batting practice before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on August 6, 2025 in Atlanta, Yankees gave up Caleb Durbin and Nestor Cortes to get Williams. The Brewers flipped Cortes at the trade deadline, but Durbin has become a starter. He has started 86 of the 97 games he has played in after being called up. Durbin is slashing .255/.334/.377 while playing solid defense at third base. Meanwhile, third base for the Yankees has been a real problem. The team traded for Ryan McMahon, but he has not been great. Jazz Chisholm Jr., Oswaldo Cabrera, Oswald Peraza, Jorbit Vivas, Pablo Reyes, José Caballero and J.C. Escarra have also tried to fill the void at third base. Durbin would have been an upgrade for the Yankees. Instead, the Yankees are watching Williams play his way out of the Bronx. Durbin has been solid all season, but recently his offense has surged. In his last 44 games, he has slashed .302/.365/.446 with four home runs and 17 RBIs. The Brewers have the best record in the big leagues, and Durbin is a huge reason why. He has multiple years of club control and could have been a star for the Yankees. He is in the 98th percentile for strikeout percentage and 94th percentile for whiff percentage, per Baseball Savant. He is tough to strike out and can also impact the game with his speed. Right now, it clearly looks like the Brewers won the trade where they gave up an All-Star closer. More MLB: Cubs' Kyle Tucker Has 5-Word Response to Benching After Replacement Shines

Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson begin to show what's possible with Bears
The Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson era couldn't have gotten off to a better start. Yes, it was only preseason. Still, Caleb Williams had one of the better drives we have seen from him as an NFL quarterback. Caleb did a lot of things he struggled with in his rookie season and looked like a completely different player. It is always hard to predict how things will go after seeing preseason action, especially given that the Buffalo Bills were not playing their starters against the Chicago Bears, but seeing a glimpse of how efficient and dangerous this Bears offense can be has to get Chicago fans excited. Brendan Sugrue with Bears Wire gave his thoughts on the early success of Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams: "Williams and the starting offense opened things up with an impressive touchdown drive where he went 5-of-6 for 97 yards. He was accurate and poised, delivering the ball quickly to tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet while firing a dart to Olamide Zaccheaus for the touchdown. His lone miss was on a play where he was pressured to his right and had to make an off-balance throw to Zaccheaus that came a play before they connected for a touchdown. "All in all, Williams finished the day going 6-of-10 for 107 yards and a touchdown with a passer rating of 130.0. Williams is starting with his left foot forward, a change from last year. His base looks improved from his rookie season as well, something that wasn't always consistent. The best news, however, may be that Williams didn't take a single sack in either series after he took 68 in 2024. There is a long way to go, but the unofficial start to the Williams and Johnson partnership could not have gone much better than it did on Sunday night." Caleb Williams had the fourth highest PFF grade among all quarterbacks in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. He ultimately was one of the biggest winners from this week. All of the offseason banter that painted Caleb Williams in a negative light seems to be simmering down after Sunday night's performance. Given how creative and efficient Ben Johnson's offense is, a consistently excellent Caleb Williams will make the Bears very dangerous in the NFC. We will see Caleb Williams have an MVP-level season. In that sole drive Caleb Williams not only looked like Jared Goff, but he also looked a lot like number 13 for the USC Trojans a couple seasons ago. Getting Caleb Williams to make plays on time and be the player who was drafted No. 1 will take this Bears team to new heights this season.

Bears will play their starters in the final preseason game
The Bears will play their starters in the preseason finale Friday night against the Chiefs. Bears coach Ben Johnson told Kay Adams on Up & Adams that Caleb Williams and the rest of the team's healthy starters will play. 'We'll go ahead, and we'll play,' Johnson said. 'We'll see how long it is. We're going to get through a couple days here of practice, and we'll determine for how long, but we need to go through this.' Johnson hinted earlier this week that he would play the starters this week. Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced Monday that his starters would play some against the Bears. 'They'll start it off, for sure, and then we'll see how it goes from there,' Reid said. The Bears opened Sunday night's game against the Bills with their starters on the field. Williams and receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore each played 14 snaps. Williams was 6-of-10 for 107 yards and a touchdown.
