The New York Yankees have officially named Devin Williams as their closer for the 2025 season following his acquisition from the Milwaukee Brewers. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that while Williams will take on this critical role, Luke Weaver will also have opportunities to close games.
Williams, a two-time NL Reliever of the Year, brings a stellar track record to the Yankees with a career 1.83 ERA and impressive strikeout numbers. The Yankees are looking to strengthen their bullpen after losing Clay Holmes to the New York Mets, and this new duo of Williams and Weaver aims to solidify the backend of their relief pitching.
