Devin Williams

The Yankees probably thought they landed the best closer in baseball when they acquired Devin Williams from Milwaukee last off-season. To everyone's surprise, Williams labored through the month of April and was removed from closing duties before the end of that month. The 31-year-old regained the job one month later when Luke Weaver was sidelined, but a brutal stretch near the trade deadline amplified New York's need for a closer. Williams was once again ousted from the role when the Yankees acquired David Bednar, but performed more in line with expectations from that point forward. Overall, he finished 13th among qualified relievers with a 25.1 K-BB percentage and had the highest differential between ERA (4.79) and FIP (2.68) at 2.11. Williams signed a 3-year, $50M deal with the Mets and currently sits atop their closer hierarchy, but pencil him in for now as the team isn't done revamping its bullpen just yet. Read Past Outlooks
