Edwin Diaz delivers extremely blunt, simple message to Mets about choosing Dodgers
Former New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz. | Allen J. Schaben/GettyImagesEdwin Díaz's departure from the New York Mets hasn't been without bitterness on all sides. When news of Díaz signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers first broke, Mets fans were the bitter ones, feeling like Steve Cohen and David Stearns had just low-balled them out of a Díaz-Devin Williams dynamic duo in 2026.
In defense of the fans here, the Mets had been expressing interest in keeping Díaz, and his ultimate $69 million check from the Dodgers wasn't anywhere beyond Cohen's wheelhouse, nor was it an exorbitantly higher expense than the $51 million the Mets handed to Williams, an inferior asset.
