""I have full confidence that he can be one of the best relievers in baseball. "He's very motivated to do that and I'm looking forward to watching him. We do our best to weigh the full impact of any player on our team - on our organization - and we make the best decision we can. "I'm not going to talk about any specific negotiation. What I'll say is that once you add to a certain part of our team, that will change""
Edwin Díaz agreed to a three-year, $69 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that averages $23 million per season, a record annual salary for a major-league reliever. Díaz is 31 and posted a 1.63 ERA with 28 saves in his sixth season, earning a third All-Star selection. Díaz previously signed a five-year, $102.5 million deal with the New York Mets after 2022 but opted out with two years remaining; that deal has a lower present-day value due to deferrals. Díaz debuted with the Seattle Mariners (2016–2018). The Dodgers recently signed Devin Williams, and the Mets plan for Williams to assume Díaz’s role.
