Devin Williams has struggled in his first month with the Yankees, posting an 11.25 ERA over eight innings, culminating in a blown save against the Blue Jays. Manager Aaron Boone hinted at a potential change in the closer role, emphasizing the need to get Williams back on track, despite his past dominance with a 1.83 ERA and 39.4% strikeout rate during his six seasons with the Brewers. The trade for Williams, which cost the Yankees Nestor Cortes and others, has thus far been disappointing for both teams, as Williams’ performance has not met expectations, affecting his future earning potential.
