Edwin Diaz Agrees to Deal With the Dodgers
Free-agent reliever Edwin Diaz and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, a league source tells Will Sammon of The Athletic. A year after signing lefty closer Tanner Scott to beef up their bullpen, the Dodgers will pry the top closer on the market away from the New York Mets. The 31-year-old Diaz, who was already a high-end closing option in fantasy baseball, will now be the clear No. 1 option with a Dodgers team looking to three-peat in 2026. Diaz isn't getting younger, but he remains one of the most dominant high-leverage relievers in the sport after posting a 1.63 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 98 strikeouts and 21 walks in 66 1/3 innings for the Mets in 2025. The Puerto Rican fireman had 28 saves this past season and has 253 in his nine-year career. Diaz had a ridiculous 33-game stretch in which he gave up just one run while fanning 50 batters and walking 11 in 33 2/3 innings.
