Edwin Diaz on the Open Market This Winter
                
        
        New York Mets right-handed closer Edwin  Diaz opted out of his contract with the Mets on Monday and is now officially a free agent, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Diaz turned down the last two years of his contract with New York, which would have paid him a total of $38 million, but he has a chance to make even more on the open market as one of the most dominant relief arms in the game. The Mets will most likely make a run to try and bring Diaz back as their ninth-inning stopper. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican hurler was an All-Star for the third time in his career in 2025 and finished his ninth year in the big leagues with a 6-3 record, 1.63 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 98 strikeouts, 21 walks, and 28 saves in 66 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. Diaz has a dominant 14.5 career strikeouts per nine innings and has saved 253 games in 519 1/3 career innings.
