Edwin Díaz Joins Dodgers as Top Closer on 3-Year, $69M Deal

After a stellar 2025 season with the Mets where he posted a 1.63 ERA and 28 saves, Edwin Díaz signed a three-year, $69 million deal to become the closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The right-hander, who maintained an elite 38% strikeout rate, projects as one of baseball's top closers on a powerhouse team, though some regression in his ratios is possible as he acclimates to his new home park.
