The New York Mets understand they are not headed to the MLB playoffs, but they still have a few more tries at playing spoiler this week when they open a series with the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers are still trying to clinch a playoff berth, and preferably the AL West at the same time.
However, speaking to the Mets, this is their chance to directly ruin another team’s season.
And New York won’t be able to do so in the last weekend of the season against the Nationals.
Anyway, on the Mets’ off day, the team’s social media account made a notable Devin Williams announcement.

Inside Devin Williams’ 2026 Season + MLB Career
Devin Williams has an ERA of 4.66 this season over just 38.2 innings.
His 16 saves and 51 strikeouts are both really good marks, but Devin Williams blew a lot of games early in the season, which led to the Mets being so far behind in the playoff race.
Bottom line, if New York is going to make the playoffs next season, Williams will have to be better in the later innings.
As for his MLB career, he’s a 2X MLB All-Star with 102 saves in 350 appearances.
He spent the first six years of his career before joining the New York Yankees in 2025 and then signing with the Mets this season.
Across those 350 appearances (336.1 IP), Williams holds a career ERA of 2.70 with 516 strikeouts.
