The New York Mets have agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract with free-agent reliever Devin Williams, according to multiple reports. The signing reunites Williams with Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns and aims to bolster the team's bullpen. Despite the addition, the Mets remain interested in re-signing closer Edwin Díaz.
Devin Williams recorded his first save as a New York Mets player on Monday night, closing out a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The right-hander needed just 12 pitches, 10 of them strikes, for a perfect ninth inning. The performance highlighted the Mets' reliance on their new closer early in the season.
