Dodgers Reach Reported Three-Year, $69 Million Agreement With Closer Edwin Díaz

Los Angeles turns to the three-time All-Star to stabilize a shaky bullpen during its pursuit of a third straight title.

Overview

  • An anonymous source told the Associated Press the agreement is in place and pending a physical.
  • The contract includes deferred payments, and the Dodgers already carry $1.051 billion in deferred obligations through 2028–2046.
  • Díaz logged 28 saves with a 1.63 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings in 2025, and he has 253 career saves.
  • The Dodgers’ bullpen finished 21st in ERA last season, and the club even tapped rookie starter Roki Sasaki to close in the postseason.
  • Reports indicate the team evaluated several elite relievers on the market before moving to secure Díaz.
