Overview
- Kevin Barral of Fish On First reported that Miami plans to target Williams, a pursuit echoed by MLB Trade Rumors, Newsweek and Heavy.
- Williams hits free agency after a rough ERA year with the Yankees, finishing at 4.79 over 67 appearances but with a 2.68 FIP and a 34.7% strikeout rate.
- He told MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch he enjoyed New York and is open to a return, with role preference expected to influence his choice.
- Miami used a closer-by-committee in 2025 with nine pitchers recording saves, creating a clear late-inning need Williams could fill.
- Spotrac estimates his market at roughly one year and $5.7 million, a figure that fits the Marlins’ budget-minded approach.
