"The Los Angeles Dodgers made a massive move in free agency on Tuesday, signing All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to a three-year, $69 million contract. Diaz is coming off of an All-Star season with the New York Mets, and perfectly fills the Dodgers' need for a high-leverage reliever in the bullpen. He had a 1.63 ERA through 62 appearances in 2025, and struck out 98 batters through 66.1 innings."
"The Dodgers are short an outfielder as things stand, as left fielder Michael Conforto made his exit at the end of the regular season and will likely not return following his disappointing campaign. Conforto played 132 of his 138 games this season in left field, and failed to produce with the bat throughout the season. The veteran batted a career-low .199 in 2025, posting an OPS below .700 for the first time in his 11-year career."
