Mets signing ex-Yankee closer Devin Williams to three-year, $45 million contract, per report
The Mets will look for Williams to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season in the Bronx
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can confirm from reputable reports:
- Devin Williams reportedly signed a three-year contract with the New York Mets in December 2025. The reported guarantees were in the neighborhood of $50–51 million, with various signing bonuses and deferrals included in the deal. The exact total and structure varied by source, but the general consensus was a three-year pact with the Mets.[1][2][3][6]
- The deal was described as a significant bullpen acquisition for the Mets, reuniting Williams with some executives and staff who had worked with him previously, and aiming to bolster late-inning relief for the club.[6]
- Some outlets noted that Evans (Edwin Díaz) status could influence bullpen plans, but the Williams agreement itself was reported as a three-year commitment with the Mets, totaling around $50 million plus deferrals.[3][6]
