Edwin Diaz Is 'Huge' For Dodgers Bullpen Success
""It's great. It is. I think that the dependability, the constant of having somebody at the back end that you trust and who has a track record, it just kind of allows... to have a guy at the back end is huge.""
""Pitching in the ninth is a big responsibility because the ball is in your hand for the last three outs of the game.""
Edwin Díaz signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, making him the highest-paid relief pitcher in MLB history. He has been a top reliever for a decade and provides the Dodgers with their first established closer since Kenley Jansen. Díaz's impact was immediate, recording two saves in the season-opening series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers' bullpen has been strong, and with Díaz, it is expected to become even more formidable this season.
