Overview
- Williams agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract with the Mets earlier this week after one season with the Yankees.
- Following the deal, he posted on Instagram, "For a bunch of people that didn’t want me back on your team, y'all sure are mad in the DM’s."
- His 2025 in the Bronx opened with a severe slump and a demotion from the closer role before he closed with nine straight scoreless outings and four more in the postseason.
- Despite a 4.79 ERA, his Statcast expected ERA was 3.09 with a 2.68 FIP and elite swing-and-miss rates.
- New York adds a late-inning arm for Carlos Mendoza’s bullpen, and the club is reportedly still considering a reunion with former closer Edwin Díaz as Yankees fans vent online.
