"Diaz spent the last seven years in New York and became a star, accumulating 144 saves while turning into a fan favorite at Citi Field. Then he opted out, watched as the Mets brought in a potential replacement in Devin Williams and jumped at the opportunity to join the Dodgers, who signed him to a three-year, $69 million contract that was pretty close to what the Mets offered to bring him back."
"I was in New York, but now I'm here. I'm enjoying the time with this team. We have a really good team. I gotta keep doing my job. And I'm hearing the trumpets here at Dodger Stadium now."
"Diaz pounded his glove twice as he reached the left-field warning track, just as the lights shut off. He settled into a jog, and the bass drums began."
Edwin Diaz made his debut as a closer for the Dodgers, securing his first save in a 5-4 victory against the Diamondbacks. After a run-scoring single by Kyle Tucker in the eighth inning, Diaz entered the game to his iconic entrance music, captivating fans. Previously a star with the Mets, Diaz signed a three-year contract with the Dodgers. He expressed excitement about joining the team and enjoying the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium, where a trumpeter mimicked his entrance music during his jog to the mound.
