Part 2/8:
The consensus among the analysts is overwhelmingly positive regarding the Mets' reported agreement with David Williams. Described as the second-best free agent pitcher available behind Edwin Diaz, Williams’ signing is considered a significant coup for the Mets, especially given the reported three-year, $45.1 million deal.
Why is Williams regarded so highly?
His performance in recent seasons, particularly the adjustments he made in the second half of last year, demonstrate a high baseball IQ and character. Notably, Williams showed humility by accepting a role other than closer, which displayed his team-first mentality and resilience—a valuable trait in New York's high-pressure environment. This adaptability and professionalism make him an excellent fit for the Mets’ roster.
