Jett Williams’ Surprising Move: Why the Former Mets Prospect’s Trade to the Brewers Could Change Everything
So, the Mets just shook things up in a pretty big way on Wednesday by locking in a deal with the Brewers to bring right-hander Freddy Peralta on board. But, as with most blockbuster trades, this wasn’t a no-strings-attached kind of thing. New York parted ways with some promising talent—Brandon Sproat and the much-touted Jett Williams—to sweeten the pot, not to mention reliever Tobias Myers heading to Milwaukee. It’s a tough pill to swallow for Mets fans, especially since Williams was carving out a name for himself atop the team’s prospect charts—he held Joe DeMayo’s No. 3 spot behind Nolan McLean and Carson Benge and was even listed No. 71 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects for 2026. Pretty impressive for someone who battled through injuries and bounced back strong last season, showcasing a solid slash line and plenty of pop and speed between Binghamton and Syracuse. Just about a day after everything went official, Williams shared a heartfelt message to the Mets and their faithful, expressing gratitude and bittersweet feelings about his next chapter with Milwaukee. It’s a reminder that behind every trade are stories of growth, resilience, and fresh beginnings.
The Mets made a big splash when they acquired RHP Freddy Peralta in a trade with the Brewers on Wednesday, but it wasn’t without cost.
New York sent prospects Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams to Milwaukee to complete the deal for Peralta and reliever Tobias Myers. It was a bittersweet day in Mets land as Williams was often at the top of the organization’s prospect lists, including SNY’s Joe DeMayo, who had him ranked No. 3 on his latest rankings — behind only Nolan McLean and Carson Benge.

He was also ranked No. 71 in Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list ahead of the 2026 season.
About 24 hours after the deal was made official, Williams posted a message to the Mets and fans as he embarks on a new journey with the Brewers.
“To the Mets organization, thank you for giving me an opportunity and for allowing me the space to grow – through both failure and success. Thank you to the fans for welcoming me with open arms and supporting me through every high and low. To my teammates and everyone in the organization, you will always have a special place in my heart.”
Williams was drafted 14th overall by the Mets in the 2022 draft and had a taste of the Triple-A level by the 2024 season, but was slowed down by injury. The infielder/outfielder returned to have a bounceback 2025 between Binghamton and Syracuse, slashing .261/.363/.465 with an OPS of .828 across 130 games. He smashed 17 home runs, drove in 52 runs and stole 34 bases.
