"With Devin Williams inking a three-year deal to play for the New York Mets, it's unknown as to whether Diaz will return to Queens as the team's closer...or perhaps leave for a new adventure completely. Diaz in theory would be a perfect addition to a bullpen in desperate need of production and a proven track record. Last year out of the 'pen was an adventure to put it mildly."

Devin Williams signed a three-year deal with the Mets, leaving Edwin Díaz's future in doubt. Díaz opted out of the final two years of a five-year, $102 million Mets contract and remains a top reliever on the market. A qualifying offer attached to Díaz would cost any new team a draft pick, reducing the Dodgers' incentive to sign him. Los Angeles recently committed a large multiyear contract to Tanner Scott that underperformed, increasing organizational caution. The Dodgers are therefore more likely to pursue in-house candidates or shorter-term bullpen signings to preserve flexibility.
