Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- Devin Williams’ 2025 salary was reported as $8.6 million under the contract he signed to avoid arbitration with the Yankees, making him the team’s closer for that season. This figure was widely cited in early 2025 coverage and reflects his one-year deal for that year.[1]
- Later reporting in late 2025 and beyond indicates that Williams and other teams were in the news around December 2025 about a three-year, $51 million deal with the New York Mets, with the contract featuring significant deferred payments starting in 2036—though the immediate 2026 salary and terms were part of the reported package.[3][5][6][7]
- There are also older references to his 2024–earlier earnings and various contract notes, but the most current, widely cited numbers tie to the 2025 Yankees $8.6 million figure and the December 2025 Mets deal with its $15 million annual salary, heavily front-loaded with deferrals (notably $5 million per year deferred).[6][7][1]
If you want, I can pull the exact salary breakdowns from the sources above (base salary, signing bonuses, incentives, and any deferrals) and summarize them in a compact table. I can also look for the very latest updates from reputable outlets to confirm which team Williams is with right now and what the current year’s salary looks like.
