The reigning World Champions don&#8217;t have very many ways they need to upgrade their roster this offseason, but a look at their depth chart suggests they don&#8217;t have a\u00a0true<em>\u00a0<\/em>closer,&#8221; wrote Trueden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/mlb\/player\/market-value\/_\/id\/32715\/devin-williams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotrac<\/a>\u00a0projects Williams to sign a five-year, $70 million deal in free agency after next season. However, just as the Brewers did with Josh Hader, they could trade him for prospects before he eventually walks. Williams is a two-time All-Star and two-time National League Trevor Hoffman Reliever of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Micheal Kopech and Evan Phillips were essentially the Dodgers&#8217; closers last year. However, Williams eliminates any need for a closer-by-committee approach. Adding Williams could make the Dodgers bullpen truly elite, allowing Kopech to serve as a setup man.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;L.A. has the prospect depth needed to pull off a trade and the Brewers could even target someone who&#8217;s big-league ready like Wisconsinite Gavin Lux in talks,&#8221; wrote Treuden.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers would want a decent package from the Dodgers, but considering Williams has just one year left before free agency they may not get what they expect. Williams has a track record of postseason struggles and injuries, potentially lowering his trade value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers have already made some big signings in free agency this offseason.
