The Mets know they need to improve their rotation this offseason — however long the offseason might be — but regardless of who starts games, they must figure out who will close them. 

Even if Tarik Skubal, the prize of this year’s free agent class, lands in Queens, he’s not going to be pitching too many ninth innings. 

At this week’s general manager meetings in Las Vegas, president of baseball operations David Stearns was asked twice about Devin Williams and referred to the right-hander as the closer “right now” both times. 

Williams is 32 and has two years and $30 million left on the deal he signed with the Mets last offseason after he failed as closer with the Yankees.
