Just like they were around the peak of last summer’s trade deadline, the Dodgers have been linked to New York reliever Edwin Diaz ahead of this winter’s Hot Stove season.
While most of the early rumors surrounding the Dodgers this offseason have been based on free agent acquisitions, this is one of the first few which would potentially involve a trade.
Granted, like much of the other gossip swirling these days, the whispers surrounding Diaz are purely hypothetical. A prospective deal was conjured by Joel Sherman of the New York Post, whose main purpose behind his story was to provide a few suggestions for the Mets’ black hole in center field.
