Overview
- Devin Williams agreed to a three-year contract with the Mets, with media reports differing on the total value between $45 million and $51 million.
- Brian Cashman said the Yankees never extended a formal offer and received no callback after speaking once or twice with Williams’ representative.
- Williams’ lone Yankees season was uneven, featuring two removals from the closer role and a 4.79 ERA across 62 innings.
- Advanced indicators painted a stronger picture for Williams, including elite chase and whiff rates, a 3.09 xERA, a 2.68 FIP, and 13 straight scoreless outings to end the year.
- Cashman said David Bednar is the Yankees’ closer, though the team remains open to adding further bullpen help.
