The New York Mets had high expectations entering this season, thanks to some intriguing acquisitions after seeing some longtime franchise favorites leave for other opportunities. One acquisition was Devin Williams , who moved across the city to join the Mets after spending the 2025 season with the New York Yankees . However, some Mets fans might be wishing that he had stayed on that side.

Williams’ meltdown in the ninth inning was his second of the week, and he has now allowed seven earned runs over his last three appearances, while only getting four outs. In a season full of disappointment during a 12-game losing streak, swapping Williams for Edwin Diaz might be the one that looms the largest.
Williams walked three batters on Tuesday night, which led to the meltdown. While some managers might’ve tried to sugarcoat things for their closer post-game, Carlos Mendoza decided to give a blunt take on what went wrong in the ninth inning.
The time for giving the players the benefit of the doubt is over for Mendoza, who has seen some poor performances from players who were supposed to make a difference for him this season. Newcomers Devin Williams and Bo Bichette are drawing the ire of fans, while Francisco Lindor ’s struggles have fans feeling buyer’s remorse.

The Mets’ 12 straight losses don’t put them in a great spot, as no team bounced back from that much of a skid to make the postseason. If New York fails to make the playoffs this season after all the expectations, you can expect some big changes.
