Marlins Plan Pursuit of Devin Williams in Free Agency

Miami sees a potential closer whose advanced numbers outshone a rough 2025 with the Yankees.

Overview

  • Kevin Barral of Fish On First reported that Miami will target Williams this offseason, a plan echoed by multiple outlets with no agreement reported.
  • Williams posted a 4.79 ERA and allowed 37 runs in 62 innings for New York, yet logged a 34.7% strikeout rate with a 2.68 FIP and 2.67 SIERA.
  • The Marlins went 79-83 and used nine pitchers for saves in 2025, positioning them to offer Williams a clear ninth-inning role.
  • Spotrac pegs Williams’ market value at roughly one year and $5.7 million, reflecting reduced expectations after his surface-level downturn.
  • Williams said his interest in a closer role "depends on the scenario" and indicated he is open to a Yankees return, suggesting a competitive market.
