The New York Mets and their fans thought they hit the jackpot when they traded for closing pitcher Edwin Díaz prior to the 2019 campaign. In 2018, while a member of the Seattle Mariners, Díaz made his first-ever All-Star Game and won the American League Reliever of the Year Award. He ultimately finished with a 1.96 ERA and led the American League with 57 saves.
But Díaz wasn’t the same in Queens. He struggled mightily all year and was one of the low-points of a below-average bullpen. The Mets don’t seem like they want to deal him this offseason though and believe he’ll greatly improve in 2020.
