Edwin Díaz Says He Picked Dodgers to Win, Adding Pressure on Mets After Pete Alonso Exit

His comments sharpen focus on New York’s short-term offer approach.

Overview

  • Edwin Díaz finalized a three-year deal with the Dodgers and said he chose Los Angeles because he believes the team is “going to win.”
  • Pete Alonso signed a five-year contract with the Orioles after New York did not go beyond a shorter term.
  • Reporting indicates the Mets kept offers to roughly three years for both players and did not make final bids before they committed elsewhere.
  • Some reports say Díaz accepted the Dodgers’ proposal before waiting to see if the Mets would counter.
  • The Mets signed Devin Williams to a three-year contract as a late-inning option while they assess additional roster moves.
