Mets put Edwin Diaz back on trade market, eye huge return
Edwin DiazEdwin Diaz is no stranger to being the subject of trade rumors or actually getting traded.
But less than eight months after the Mets acquired the closer, they are open to trading him again, an industry source confirmed to The Post’s Ken Davidoff. It would take a sky-high return, as ESPN first reported Wednesday, but the Mets are willing to listen ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.
“I don’t really have a reaction to it,” Diaz, who is under Mets control through 2022, said Wednesday before the Mets played host to the Padres.
“My job is to go on the mound every day whenever they call me to do my job. I’m happy to be here, so it’s out of my control.”
