Yankees Trade Proposal Moves Top-7 Prospect & More for Elite Closer

The New York Yankees seemingly found their closer in the middle of the season after Luke Weaver proved he could fill the role moving forward. While Weaver was lights out in his short stint as the Yankees closer, there's a chance they could look to bring in an arm with more experience closing games.

Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers is a trade candidate, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN , giving the Yankees an opportunity to grab the two-time Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year Award winner.

Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report assembled packages for teams to acquire the right-hander, including the Yankees in his column.

Brewers would receive: Will Warren , Brock Selvidge

Why the Brewers Might Decline the Yankees' Offer

Given that Williams is a one-year rental, the Milwaukee Brewers shouldn't expect to get a big package for him. Still, other teams might be able to put together a better deal than the New York Yankees.

Once regarded as one of the top farm systems in Major League Baseball, the Yankees now rank below average in most rankings.

Rymer believes that could be an issue, but the Yankees would still give them a decent prospect and a Major League Baseball arm.
