The Mets have a lot of holes to fill on their roster because of so many players hitting free agency. Plenty of work still needs to be done prior to Opening Day. Thankfully, one large to-do list item has already been crossed off Billy Eppler’s list: re-signing Edwin Diaz.

Like the starting rotation, New York’s bullpen looked quite bare with proven commodities. For a win-now club, the Mets need a trusted closer to lock down the back end of the bullpen. No searching was necessary since Diaz proved to be worthy after an incredible 2022 campaign.
