Mets Show Interest in Free Agent Reliever Devin Williams Amidst Bullpen Reshaping

The New York Mets are reportedly interested in signing free agent reliever Devin Williams as they look to reshape their bullpen this offseason, potentially alongside Edwin Diaz. Williams, 31, had a "down year" with the Yankees in 2025 after being acquired from the Brewers, posting a 4.79 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 67 appearances, often struggling in the closer's role. However, his 2.68 FIP suggests bad luck, and his underlying metrics (low walk rate, average home run rate, elite bat-missing ability, and "airbender" changeup) indicate his struggles might be an aberration. Williams, who earned $8.6 million in 2025, has also been linked to the Dodgers and Blue Jays. His departure leaves a significant hole in the Yankees' bullpen.
