In 2006, upon winning a career-high ten games the season prior, the pitcher was traded to the Cincinnati Reds before finishing his big league career with the New York Mets in 2007. Williams played one season in Japan with the Yokohoma BayStars, subsequently returning stateside to serve as minor league pitching coach within the Toronto Blue Jays' farm system. |
