Overview
- Edwin Díaz was introduced at Dodger Stadium after signing a three-year, $69 million contract to join Los Angeles.
- The Dodgers signaled he will handle the ninth inning, with Andrew Friedman calling him an elite option to stabilize a role the club has juggled since 2021.
- Díaz said he chose Los Angeles for its winning track record after seven seasons with the Mets and consulted his brother Alexis and teammate Kiké Hernández before deciding.
- The 31-year-old is coming off a standout 2025 with New York, posting a 1.53 ERA with 28 saves and has multiple Reliever of the Year awards across both leagues.
- He will wear No. 3 in tribute to his three sons because No. 39 is retired by the Dodgers for Hall of Famer Roy Campanella.
