Dodgers Bolster Bullpen with Three-Year, $69 Million Edwin Díaz Signing

The Los Angeles Dodgers have significantly strengthened their bullpen by signing closer Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million contract. Díaz, who set a record for highest average annual value for a reliever, has maintained an ERA starting with a one in four of his last seven seasons. Over the past two seasons, he ranks second among MLB relievers in both strikeout rate (38.4%) and strikeout-minus-walk rate (29.7%).
