The debut has been so rough that Major League Baseball insider Joel Sherman suggested the Yankees could look to part ways with Williams before the trade deadline, noting that the pitcher will be looking for a new contract this winter.

The New York Yankees traded for Devin Williams this offseason, but he has struggled immensely so far. He will be a free agent after the season ends, and if he cannot help the Yankees win, they could trade him.

Williams entered Monday's game with the Yankees leading 3-0. After recording a strikeout to begin the eighth, Williams allowed two walks and a single before exiting the frame. Luke Weaver then surrendered two two-out hits as the Padres completed the comeback.
