"I think the Dodgers did a great job recruiting me. At the end of the day, I chose to be here. I have a lot of respect for the Mets organization, players, staff, and ownership. They treated me really good."
"I did find that one perplexing, Cohen said. Not sure exactly how Edwin arrived at that decision. Obviously, it's a personal decision on his part, and I thought we made a pretty respectable bid. I could argue our bid might've been better. I'll tell you something, when things got hot and heavy, when this was coming down, I felt pretty good about our decision to sign Devin Williams, Cohen said. I described it to [president of baseball operations David Stearns] that it was really clever,"
Edwin Diaz left the New York Mets to sign a three-year, $69 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers after rejecting the Mets' three-year, $66 million offer. Diaz said he was a free agent who evaluated multiple teams, praised the Dodgers' recruitment, expressed respect for the Mets organization, and called the Dodgers signing a new journey. Mets owner Steve Cohen said Diaz's decision was perplexing and maintained the Mets made a respectable bid. The Mets had signed Devin Williams and Luke Weaver anticipating Diaz's departure and Cohen said those moves provided roster cushion and felt clever.
