"The former MLB GM has elite closer Edwin Diaz staying in New York, but not with the Mets but joining the Yankees on a five-year, $88 million deal that could potentially be worth $100 million when all is said and done. If that indeed comes to fruition, that would be detrimental news to the Blue Jays in their search for significant bullpen help in the free agent market this offseason."
"So it just makes too much sense for the Yankees to steal back one of the Mets' best relievers in 2025 in Diaz. In doing so, it would also create a nightmare scenario for Toronto as he would join David Bednar and Camilo Doval to form a three-headed monster for the Yankees' back end of the bullpen to finish off ballgames. So the Bronx Bombers could practically have games won by the sixth inning once that trio takes over going forward."
Edwin Díaz is projected to join the Yankees on a five-year, $88 million contract with potential to reach $100 million, removing him from the free-agent market. Several top relievers already left the market — Raisel Iglesias returning to the Braves, Ryan Helsley signing with the Orioles, and Devin Williams going to the Mets — narrowing options for other teams. Díaz pairing with David Bednar and Camilo Doval would create a dominant three-headed late-inning bullpen for the Yankees, reducing opponents' comeback opportunities. Díaz's elite strikeout and walk rates (14+ K/9 and under 3.4 BB/9, min. 500 IP) underscore his dominance.
