The New York Yankees thought they had finally found their closest when they acquired twice a reliever of the National League of the year Devin Williams. Sunday, they degraded him.
Upon arriving at this season, Williams had an effectiveness of 1.83 in his first six MLB seasons, all with the Milwaukee Brewers. That figure was the second best in the largest, only behind Emmanuel Class (who is also fighting), and his 14.3 k/9 in that period was the best fourth.
But with the Yankees, he had allowed 10 races won in his first eight work tickets, and after blowing a four -run advantage and another salvation last week, New York announced that they were taking him out of Closer’s role.

It is an unknown territory for Williams in more than one sense, since the talk in the Tri-State area is that Williams is another victim of the largest market.
However, his former teammate of the brewers in Christian Yelich does not agree.
“Devin will be fine. He is one of the best baseball closures. He has done it for a long time,” Yelich told Pak Gazette Digital in a recent interview.
“Anything in a small sample size does not really tell the real story. You have a hard or two output, everything is biased.” But he will be fine. He knows what he is getting in New York. He has launched in many big games. So I’m not worried about him. It will be fine. “

Williams was not remarkable when he had to shave his beard, which became another springboard for the owner Hal Steinbrenner abandoning the long data policy implemented by his father in the 1970s.
Yelich agrees that the policy was an intelligent decision, but “we all laugh with the brewers” when Williams had to shave.
Maybe that has joined the pressure, but for Williams, although he was not the only catalyst for policy change, it is safe to assume that he helped push him to the final area.
According to reports, Williams has also complained about the presence of the media at the Yankees Club House, which is surely very different from his days in Milwaukee.
It seemed to have it resolved this month, when it had consecutive outings of three UP, three down. But since then, it has been difficult to see.

For now, Williams is not a high leverage option, which is a bad time for him because he is in his last season before free agency.
Luke Weaver, who assumed Closer’s role last year after Clay Holmes lost his job, closed two games in the last week and has an effectiveness of 0.00 in his 13 appearances this season.
