Mets closer Devin Williams booed after another ninth-inning meltdown

Devin Williams was booed as he blew a tie in the ninth inning of the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins, failing to record an out after walking three and allowing the final two runs; his season ERA rose to 9.95 as New York’s bullpen woes continued and the club extended its skid to 12 games. Add in prior rough outings (grand slam vs. Dodgers, blown save vs. Cubs) and Williams’ mechanical struggles with his changeup, and fans and observers questioned whether the earlier relief from his Yankee-era reputation was a fluke.

Mets' 12-game skid deepens as Williams falters in ninth vs. Twins

The Mets dropped their 12th straight game after Devin Williams allowed two ninth-inning runs in a 5-3 loss to the Twins. Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer early to give New York a 3-0 lead, Nolan McLean pitched well into the seventh, Byron Buxton belted a two-run shot to cut the lead, and Luke Keaschall’s RBI single tied the game at 3-3 in the seventh before Williams exited to boos as the Mets couldn’t muster a comeback and turn to Clay Holmes to try to snap the skid.

Cubs walk it off in 10th to cap Mets’ 11th straight loss

Devin Williams blew the ninth-inning lead and Nico Hoerner’s 10th-inning sacrifice fly off Craig Kimbrel gave the Cubs a 2-1 win, extending the Mets’ losing streak to 11 games—the club’s longest since 2002. Michael Conforto tied the game with a pinch-hit RBI double in the ninth, and Ian Happ scored on a misplayed ball in right earlier in the frame.

Mets Sign Devin Williams to $51M Deal, Raising Expectations

Devin Williams, despite a challenging season with a high ERA and some pitching inconsistencies, signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the New York Mets, with underlying metrics suggesting he could rebound strongly in 2026, and his departure from the Yankees prompts a reevaluation of how reliever value is assessed beyond traditional stats like ERA.

Dodgers Eye Devin Williams and Other Key Free Agents

The Dodgers are interested in acquiring Devin Williams, a top-tier reliever, as they seek to strengthen their bullpen, which has been inconsistent. Williams, a two-time All-Star with a strong track record, had a challenging season with the Yankees but remains a highly regarded pitcher with potential to return to form. The team is also optimistic about their current relievers and may not prioritize a high-profile signing this offseason.

Marlins Eyeing Devin Williams and Outfield Boost in Free Agency

The Miami Marlins are interested in acquiring Devin Williams, a talented reliever with a strong track record, as they aim to improve their bullpen and contend more seriously in the upcoming season. Williams, who struggled with the Yankees after a successful stint with the Brewers, could be a bargain due to his recent performance, and Miami's need for a closer makes him an attractive option. However, competition from other teams and Williams's openness to staying with the Yankees could influence the outcome.

Yankees Boost Bullpen with Devin Williams Trade

The New York Yankees traded pitcher Nestor Cortes and minor-leaguer Caleb Durbin to the Milwaukee Brewers for elite closer Devin Williams. Both Williams and Cortes are in the final year of their contracts, making the trade a strategic move for both teams. The Yankees, with a surplus of starting pitchers, needed to bolster their bullpen, while the Brewers opted to trade Williams rather than extend his contract. Williams, known for his exceptional changeup, is expected to strengthen the Yankees' bullpen significantly.
