Former New York Yankees reliever Devin Williams is now a New York Met. On December 3, Williams officially signed a three-year, $51 million deal to take his talents to Queens, and according to his Instagram story from the same day, Williams isn’t afraid to troll his former supporters in the Bronx. Williams wrote the following message to Yankees fans in his story: “For a bunch of people that didn’t want me back on your team, yall sure are mad in the dm’s.” Williams’ Yankees tenure infamously got off to a horrendous start in 2025, with him ultimately losing the closer role due to a series of heinous outings. Williams did recover his quality throughout the season, though, and had a much better second half. He didn’t allow a run in the postseason, and his numbers from August onward were back to really solid levels. In addition to being third in WAR among all relievers, this is how Devin WIlliams closed out last season:May 7 onward: 3.58 ERA, 2.44 FIP, 13.8 K/9September 4 onward: 0.00 ERA, 1.14 FIP, 12 K/9Postseason: 4 IP, 0.00 ERA, 2.64 FIP https://t.co/ZV7j51ZWYS— Good Fundies Brian (@GoodFundies) December 4, 2025 With his strong last couple of months, D-Will re-habilitated his reputation and market value, and a lot of Mets fans are happy to have him on board.

Williams also hilariously got the Yankees to alter their facial hair policy during his lone season with the club. The policy was in place for about 50 years, prohibiting Yankees players from having beards or long hair. Williams’ efforts led to “well-groomed bears” being allowed in the Yankees clubhouse.
