There couldn’t be a more appropriate time to revisit these past New York Mets rumors. The Mets and Cincinnati Reds are playing while Edwin Diaz’s brother Alexis Diaz sits on the waiver wire trying to figure out what’s next. Traded by the Reds to the Los Angeles Dodgers early this season, his fall was a mighty one and maybe a little unexpected for those who hadn’t watched.
A 7.80 ERA combined with the two teams in 15 innings of work, Diaz wobbled last season but this year has fallen completely off the map. A large part of his year has been spent in the minor leagues.
