Overview
- At his introductory news conference, Edwin Díaz thanked the Mets and said he chose Los Angeles because he is focused on winning.
- He left New York after seven seasons for a reported $69 million contract spanning three years.
- Team executives presented him as their first firmly designated closer in years and a willing multi-inning option in October.
- The move targets a bullpen that posted a 4.27 ERA last season and leaned on starters for relief work in the postseason.
- Díaz will keep his trumpet-fueled entrance and will wear No. 3 with the Dodgers to honor his three sons.
