Red Sox Acquire Caleb Durbin In Six-Player Trade With Brewers

Will get spring reps at third base Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said Monday that Williams will be given some third-base reps during spring training, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Impact Williams has yet to play third base at the professional level, but he's very familiar with the left side of the infield and has a plus arm, so it could be a smooth transition. The hot corner is now wide open for the Brewers after they traded Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio to the Red Sox on Monday. While it's probably a long shot that Williams breaks camp as the starter at third base, showing he can handle the position would give him another path to playing time. The 22-year-old Williams was acquired from the Mets last in the deal that sent Freddy Peralta to New York.

Will focus on shortstop in spring Williams said Monday that his positional focus heading into spring training will be at shortstop, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Acquired from the Mets last week in the Freddy Peralta trade, Williams' primary position so far in pro ball has been shortstop, but he's also played second base and center field and considers himself "pretty comfortable at all three positions now." Williams is likely to begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Nashville after hitting only .209/.285/.433at Triple-A Syracuse in 2025 following a late-season promotion. The 22-year-old could debut at some point during the upcoming season, likely either at shortstop or in center field.

Mets acquire ace pitcher Freddy Peralta from Brewers in trade

JANUARY 22 • Associated Press

Traded in Peralta deal The Mets traded Williams to the Brewers on Wednesday alongside Brandon Sproat in exchange for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After posting an .867 OPS over 96 games with the Mets' Double-A affiliate, Williams received a promotion to Triple-A Syracuse in mid-August and slashed .209/.285/.433 with seven homers, 15 RBI and 21 runs scored across 151 plate appearances. The 22-year-old prospect doesn't own a 40-man roster spot, making it likely that he will report to Triple-A Nashville to begin his tenure with the Brewers, but he could be promoted sometime during the season if Joey Ortiz's offensive struggles carry into 2026.

Joining Triple-A Williams is being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Impact Williams will move up to Triple-A after producing a .281 average with 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 70 runs scored and 32 stolen bases over 96 games with Double-A Binghamton this season. The 21-year-old is considered to be the Mets' top overall prospect, and he is now just one stop away from making his major-league debut.

AUGUST 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Triple-A The Mets promoted Williams from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Impact Williams will move up to Triple-A after slashing .281/.390/.477 with 10 home runs and 32 stolen bases over 96 games with Binghamton this season. Regarded as one of the Mets' top prospects, the 21-year-old Williams likely won't be in the mix for anything more than a September call-up, but he could emerge as an everyday player for the big club at some point in 2026.

AUGUST 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues crushing ball Williams went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two triples, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base for Double-A Binghamton on Thursday.

Impact The 21-year-old top prospect has been simply destroying baseballs this week, going 8-for-15 over his last four games, and incredibly all eight knocks have gone for extra bases -- four double, two triples and two homers. Williams is blocked at his natural shortstop position by Francisco Lindor, but he's seen time at second base and center field this season, and the latter spot might provide his clearest path to a starting job in the majors for the Mets. Williams is slashing .298/.407/.530 for Binghamton with six homers, 18 steals and a 31:42 BB:K in 52 contests, and a promotion to Triple-A Syracuse seems imminent.

JUNE 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Overcomes injury Williams (head) has gone 5-for-11 with two home runs, three doubles, three walks, four RBI and four runs in three starts since rejoining the Double-A Binghamton lineup Sunday.

Impact After being pulled from a game last Friday after being hit on the helmet by a fastball in his first plate appearance of the night, Williams missed just one game before returning to action Sunday. The 21-year-old shortstop has exhibited no ill effects since his return and is now slashing .288/.397/.497 with six home runs and 17 stolen bases over 209 plate appearances on the season. A promotion to Triple-A Syracuse may not be too far down the road for Williams.

Okay after HBP Williams avoided a concussion after being hit in the helmet by a pitch Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Williams was hit by a fastball that was traveling 98 mph. He will miss a few days but is expected to be back in Double-A Binghamton's lineup quickly.

Dialed in for Rumble Ponies Williams is hitting .295 with two home runs, six steals, a 9.3 percent walk rate and a 23.3 percent strikeout rate in 21 games for Double-A Binghamton.

Impact Williams struggled to stay healthy last year, playing 33 total games and 22 games at Double-A, where he hit .172 with zero home runs. His performance this year is much more in line with expectations, as he is putting his 70-grade speed to use on the bases while showcasing his sneaky pop out of a strong 5-foot-7 frame. Williams has started 15 games at shortstop, two games in center field and one game at second base.

MAY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifted to minor-league camp The Mets reassigned Williams to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Following an injury-riddled 2024 season, Williams appeared in seven Grapefruit League games this spring, going 2-for-11 with an RBI, a run scored and four walks. He'll most likely begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Syracuse and could crack the big leagues later this season if his performance holds up.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets spring invite The Mets have extended Williams an invitation to major-league camp during spring training.

Impact Fellow top prospects Ryan Clifford and Brandon Sproat will join Williams on the big-league side of spring camp. Williams, 21, missed four months of the 2024 season due to wrist surgery and slashed only .215/.358/.298 with zero home runs and five steals in 33 games across three levels. However, Williams remains an intriguing Dynasty option due to his on-base skills and speed. He's pegged for Triple-A Syracuse to begin the season, but a bounce-back year could have him pushing to debut sometime in 2025.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sprains ankle in AFL Williams was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Williams left Thursday's Arizona Fall League contest after running into the outfield fence. The severity of the sprain is not yet known, but the issue is not expected to interfere with his offseason work.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bumped up to Triple-A The Mets promoted Williams from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact With Binghamton's season coming to a close Sunday, Williams will get his first taste of Triple-A during the upcoming week as he looks to pick up more at-bats while a wrist procedure has kept him out for much of the 2024 campaign. The shortstop prospect wrapped up his time at Double-A with a .528 OPS and five extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple) in 101 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes rehab assignment Double-A Binghamton activated Williams (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Williams went four months between his injury and the beginning of his rehab assignment after needing a triangular fibrocartilage complex debridement procedure in his right wrist. The ever patient shortstop hit .250 with four walks, three strikeouts, two steals and zero extra-base hits in five rehab games. Williams has proven to be an on-base machine (career .417 OBP), as he knows the strike zone very well, but he also has plus-plus speed and good bat speed at the plate, so he could turn into a five-category contributor in fantasy.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kicking off rehab assignment Williams (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact For the first time in four months, Williams will appear in a game after a lengthy recovery from right wrist surgery. He had gotten off to a slow start to the season with Double-A Binghamton prior to getting hurt, batting just .179 with four extra-base hits and two stolen bases over 50 plate appearances, though he drew eight walks while striking out just five times. Given the length of his absence, Williams could remain on the rehab assignment through the weekend before potentially returning from Binghamton's 60-day injured list next week.
