Edwin Díaz's contract details with Dodgers revealed and Mets will be furious

As expected, almost everyone was complaining that the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Edwin Díaz even though nearly all of the detractors' teams could have opened their wallets and done the same thing. At this point, the "Dodgers boogeyman" narrative is getting boring and the rest of the league needs to put up or shut up. However even the most ardent Dodgers defenders have to admit that the contract Díaz got is pretty favorable for LA.

When Díaz's deal with the Dodgers was first reported, it was as a three-year, $69 million deal and that is admittedly a lot of money for a reliever, but that was about it in terms of analysis.
