The world of Major League Baseball endured seismic ripples Tuesday morning — as star closer Edwin Diaz reportedly agreed to a multi-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Los Angeles had been long rumored to be a team in search of bullpen reinforcements. Diaz was always seen as a guy that would want a five-year deal perhaps north of $100 million.
As fate would have it, the two parties reportedly agreed to a three-year deal worth $69 million. It’s the type of contract the Dodgers prefer where the player gets a higher AAV in exchange for less of a time commitment from a years standpoint.
