4 dream NY Mets free agents for next offseason who aren't Scott Boras clients

3) Devin Williams

Players never go from the Yankees to the Mets. Money talks. Devin Williams is another major moving part from the offseason. Traded by the Milwaukee Brewers to the Yankees, it’s almost easy to forget it happened in the fray of an exciting offseason where both New York clubs were two of the more aggressive organizations. His agency is Beverly Hills Sports Council, making him an incredibly desirable non-Scott Boras client.

It’s a reach to expect Tucker to come to the Mets and the club to move all of the parts around to make it happen. It’s not impossible, though. With Williams, the Mets wouldn’t be able to promise him saves and that’s something a lot of elite relievers want tacked onto their stat sheet.

Unfortunately, it’s going to take another major change for the Mets to pursue him. Interestingly, Edwin Diaz has an opt out after this coming season.

Odds are in favor of Diaz opting into his deal simply because it’s difficult to believe another team would pay him as much. Even a repeat of 2022 might not be enough for clubs to view him as a $20 million per year player. There’s always an extreme situation such as a trade where a spot does open up. Don’t hold your breath for a pairing of the two on the Mets roster.
