The Mets began the reconstruction of their depleted bullpen Monday by reaching agreement with former Yankee Devin Williams on a three-year, $45 million contract, a source confirmed.
The Mets remain interested in retaining former closer Edwin Diaz, a source said. Diaz exercised his opt-out and heads the free-agent reliever class.
Williams’ deal includes $5 million deferred each season plus a $6 million signing bonus prorated over three years, making the total value $51 million.
Williams, the long-time Brewers closer best known for giving up a go-ahead three-run homer by Pete Alonso in the ninth inning of the clinching Game 3 of their 2024 Wild Card Series, was dominant during his first six years in the big leagues before a mercurial season with the Yankees in 2025.
