2+ min ago (327+ words) The Mets bolstered the back of their bullpen on Monday night with a splash, signing ex-Yankees closer Devin Williams to a three-year deal in free agency. Will Sammon of The Athletic was first to report Williams" deal with the Mets. Williams" contract is worth more than $50 million guaranteed with no opt-outs or options, per ESPN"s Jeff Passan.

24+ min ago (332+ words) The post Mets, Devin Williams agree to three-year contract in MLB Free Agency appeared first on ClutchPoints. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Mets" agreement with Williams guarantees him over $50 million. Williams did go through his fair share of struggles in his lone season in pinstripes, but he did right the ship towards the end of the season and was a bright spot in the Yankees" bullpen during the postseason. The Mets will certainly be expecting to get the version of Williams who didn"t allow a single run in four high-leverage innings against the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS (although he did allow some runs that weren"t charged to him in the Yankees" season-ending Game 4 loss). During the 2025 regular season, Williams finished with a 4.79 ERA in 67 games (62 innings pitched). What this signing means for the Mets…...

35+ min ago (288+ words) Devin Williams won't have to travel far to get to his new home ballpark. The former Yankees reliever is signing with the Mets, as first reported by Will Sammon of the Athletic. The deal is for three years and guarantees more than $50 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, who added that the deal does not include opt-outs or options. For the Mets, signing Williams does not take them out of the market for closer Edwin Diaz, according to SNY's MLB Insider Andy Martino. But with Diaz still being a free agent, adding the 31-year-old gives New York a versatile reliever who can be used either as a setup man if Diaz returns or as a closer, as he has 86 career saves to his name. A seven-year major league veteran, Williams broke onto the scene with the Milwaukee Brewers, using his…...
