Command is a work in progress, but he has a high floor to build upon. Given how Milwaukee has developed arms in recent years, most recently with Quinn Priester, it’s no surprise to see them seek out Sproat in a return.

Jett Williams is the other marquee name coming back to Milwaukee. Standing at 5-foot-7, Williams is an explosive athlete who packs some punch for his frame. Williams, 22, posted incredible results in Double-A in 2025, including a 156 wRC+ and an OPS of .868 in 421 plate appearances. He ended the year in Triple-A, finishing his 2025 season with 17 homers, 34 steals, and a 136 wRC+ across both levels.

Still seeking out a defensive home, Williams profiles as a super-utility piece for the Brewers to utilize all over the field. Stop me if you have heard that one before. Though second base is considered his primary home, he’ll likely get some run in the outfield as well. In 2025, he received starts at second, shortstop, and center field in both Double-A and Triple-A.

Williams will likely start the year in Triple-A to get situated into the organization and gain more polish, as there’s no real hurry to rush him to the big-league level. While he will likely make an impact on the MLB roster one way or another in 2026, Williams is an exciting, quick athlete who can play multiple positions, gets on base at a high clip, and can swipe a lot of bags. Brewers fans will enjoy watching him play when the time comes, and that could be sooner rather than later.

The Brewers now have SEVEN Top 100 prospects:

A Win-Win Deal

There’s a lot to digest in this transaction, but this feels like both sides accomplished what it needed to in this trade.

For the Mets, it’s a lot to give up for potentially one year of Freddy Peralta. At the same time, it’s a price the Mets are willing to pay considering Peralta could put this team over the top heading into 2026. This is a team with World Series aspirations, and adding Peralta into the fold goes such a long way in better positioning them to achieve that goal.

Still boasting one of the strongest farms in the game and retaining two of their most prized pitching prospects, that’s a gamble David Stearns and company are worth taking. Besides, an extension is not out of the question for Peralta and the Mets, which is something to consider in this whole deal.

For Milwaukee, Peralta was a focal point of Brewers baseball for years, and he was one of the most beloved players to ever come through the organization. It’s a gut punch to see him swap clubhouses, and these types of moves have become an unfortunate reality for the Brewers faithful.
