""I did find that one perplexing. (I'm) not sure exactly how Edwin arrived at that decision," Cohen said. "Obviously it's a personal decision on his part, and I thought we made a pretty respectable bid.""
""I was a free agent, so I got the chance to talk with everyone," Diaz said at Camelback Ranch. "And 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, ownership. They treated me really good. I don't have anything bad to say about them. But at the end of the day I'm here. This is a new journey for me and I'm happy to be with the Dodgers so let's see how it goes.""
Edwin Díaz left the Mets in free agency to sign a three-year, $69 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers instead of a three-year, $66 million offer from the Mets. Mets owner Steve Cohen called the signing "perplexing" and questioned how Díaz arrived at the decision while describing the Mets' bid as respectable. Díaz praised the Dodgers' recruitment, expressed respect for the Mets organization, and described joining the Dodgers as a new journey. The Dodgers expect Díaz to address late-season closing issues after his 1.63 ERA, 98 strikeouts in 66.1 innings, and third All-Star selection. Tanner Scott struggled as the 2025 closer but showed promise early in spring training.
