Here’s the latest on Devin Williams’ salary:
- In early 2025, reports indicated Devin Williams signed a one-year, $8.6 million contract with the New York Yankees to avoid arbitration, with him serving as the closer. This contract made his 2025 base salary $8.6 million, up from 2024.[1]
- By December 2025, multiple outlets reported Williams had agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal with the New York Mets, effectively continuing his relief pitching role in New York with annual salaries of about $15 million and notable deferrals totaling several million dollars across the contract.[2][4][7][8]
- Earlier in 2025 there were also reports of a one-year, $7.25 million deal with a Brewers option for 2025 as part of arbitration avoidance, but that was superseded by subsequent moves to the Yankees and then the Mets in the 2025 offseason.[9]
