"With Devin Williams inking a three-year deal to join the New York Mets, coupled with the recent signings of Raisel Iglesias (Atlanta Braves) and Ryan Helsley (Baltimore Orioles), the once-deep pool of free agent relievers has suddenly began to thin out. The Los Angeles Dodgers had long been rumored as a potential landing spot for Williams in particular. Now with the All-Star reliever off to Queens,"
"Having said that, the heavyweight name remaining is Edwin Diaz. While it would be somewhat surprising to see the Dodgers pony up with another big contract to a reliever given how uneven the Tanner Scott experience was last year. According to Mets pundit Anthony DiComo of Forbes, the Dodgers could actually be looked at as the favorite for the elite reliever. It remains to be seen whether Williams was signed to take over for Diaz, or whether he was brought in to be the setup"
Devin Williams signed a three-year contract with the New York Mets, and Raisel Iglesias and Ryan Helsley also found new homes, shrinking the free-agent reliever market. The Los Angeles Dodgers had been linked to Williams, and his signing forces the Dodgers to recalibrate their inconsistent 2025 bullpen. Several relievers remain available, including Pete Fairbanks, Luke Weaver, Tyler Rogers, Kenley Jansen, Robert Suarez, and Emilio Pagan. Edwin Díaz stands out as the premier remaining target, with the Dodgers reportedly emerging as a possible favorite despite concerns after Tanner Scott. Díaz has 116 saves with the Mets since 2019 and turns 32 in March, limiting his market for a long-term deal.
