One thing has become apparent over the last few games for the New York Mets. Mickey Callaway no longer seems to trust Edwin Diaz in the closer role. We’ve seen Seth Lugo and Justin Wilson both get save opportunities. Meanwhile, Diaz’s role looks unclear.
It’s a shame it has come to this and it took so long for the Mets to unofficially announce his demotion. In a season where the team was set up well with a chance to use Jeurys Familia as the closer if all else failed, he too has put together a massively poor campaign.
