"Diaz signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the Dodgers in December 2025, which broke his own average annual value (AAV) record for a reliever at $23 million. Now, the mission is clear: help the Dodgers capture their 10th title in franchise history and become the first team in a quarter-century to complete a three-peat. The Dodgers have all the tools to do just that, and Diaz will be at the forefront of it."
"Los Angeles faced a pressing need to fix what nearly sank their postseason: the bullpen. Heading into the 2025 playoffs, it was by far the Dodgers' biggest weakness - plagued by high ERAs, blown saves, and inconsistency from top to bottom, especially in high-leverage situations down the stretch and during the postseason. Diaz is projected to help with that and then some."
