"Williams reportedly agreed to a three-year deal with the New York Mets. Though it's unclear as to whether he'll be the team's closer or setup man, it is apparent that one of the best available bullpen arms is now off the market. The Missouri native had an excellent end to last season for the New York Yankees. When further factoring in his brilliance previously with the Milwaukee Brewers, it's not an exaggeration to say that he's one of the best relievers in the sport."
"The Dodgers traditionally have been very reticent in doling out multi-year deals to relievers. The Tanner Scott implosion this past year gives further credence to that line of thinking. Having said that, if the Dodgers nabbed Diaz on a higher AAV/shorter-term deal, it would fill a massive hole. Diaz is one of the best closers in the game, and the Dodgers have not had that sort"
Devin Williams agreed to a three-year deal with the New York Mets, removing one of the top available bullpen arms from the market. His role with the Mets—closer or setup man—remains unclear. Williams finished the season strongly with the New York Yankees and previously excelled with the Milwaukee Brewers. Raisel Iglesias and Ryan Helsley also signed elsewhere, narrowing the Dodgers' free-agent options. The Dodgers have been identified as favorites to pursue Edwin Diaz, the premier reliever available. The Dodgers generally avoid multi-year reliever contracts, a stance reinforced by Tanner Scott's implosion. A higher AAV, shorter-term deal for Diaz would address a major bullpen need.
