Overview
- The Dodgers presented Díaz in Los Angeles after he left the Mets following seven seasons for a three-year contract worth $69 million.
- General manager Brandon Gomes said Díaz could enter as early as the fourth or fifth inning in the postseason and work multiple frames to finish games.
- Team leaders framed the signing as a culture-fit move to stabilize late innings after a 4.27 bullpen ERA that ranked 21st in MLB last year.
- Díaz said he chose the Dodgers for their winning environment after praising how he was treated in New York.
- He will keep his trademark trumpet entrance and switch to No. 3 because No. 39 is retired in Los Angeles for Roy Campanella.
