All-Star closer Edwin Diaz also opted out of the record-breaking pact he signed two years ago. After another brilliant season, he will have some notable suitors this offseason. According to USA TODAY MLB insider Bob Nightengale, one of them could be the uber-wealthy Los Angeles Dodgers.

Carlos Beltran met with SNY’s Chelsea Sherrod for an exclusive one-on-one interview prior to Saturday’s Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic Showdown at Citi Field.

Blue Jays pursue Raisel Iglesias as their top bullpen target to solidify late-inning stability after a near-World Series run.

The New York Mets have some key players on the open market, and one could be a great fit for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ken Rosenthal says that the Blue Jays are looking for a closer and may poach free agent Edwin Diaz from the Mets.

The Mets may want him back, and Edwin Díaz says he still loves New York — but on Thursday, he made one thing clear: his chances of returning next season are “50-50” as he tests free agency. Díaz’s remarks came on the red carpet at the MLB Awards show, where he won his third Reliever of the Year award.

The Braves entered the offseason with a minor bullpen issue thanks to Raisel Iglesias testing free agency, but they turned it into a full-blown crisis when they declined the options on Pierce Johnson and Tyler Kinley.

Díaz, who turns 32 in March, wants the same kind of deal he signed with the Mets in November 2022, according to a person briefed on his wishes – five years, $102 million. He opted out of the final two years and $38 million in the deal, and is certain to turn down the Mets’ one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer.
