Devin Williams' New Condition Seals His Yankees Departure
Devin Williams' demand to reclaim the closer role ends any chance of a Yankees reunion after one stormy season in New York's bullpen.
In an interview after the Yankees' season-ending loss, Williams was asked about a potential return to New York. He replied:
I'm definitely open to that. It takes two parties for that. I would definitely be open to that.
Despite his positive words, Williams' condition for returning was not met, ending all hope of a reunion. His 2025 season was marked by a career-worst 4.79 ERA, losing his closer role twice, and being booed by Bronx fans.
Away from baseball, Williams became a first-time father and was part of the push to ease the Yankees' decades-old facial hair policy.
