"I spent seven years in New York. They treated me really good. They treated me great. But I chose the Dodgers because they are a winning organization. I'm looking to win, and I think they have everything to win. So picking the Dodgers was pretty easy."
"It wasn't easy."
The Los Angeles Dodgers pursued Edwin Díaz despite initial concerns about spending on a high-profile reliever and expectations he would command a longer-term deal. Circumstances and Díaz's market evolved, allowing the Dodgers to emerge as front-runners and finalize a three-year, $69-million contract. Díaz departed the New York Mets after seven seasons and cited the Dodgers' winning culture as his reason for choosing them. The Dodgers' decision followed caution after Tanner Scott's struggles on a large reliever contract and their consideration of other targets such as Devin Williams, who signed elsewhere.
