"Edwin Díaz, the closer the Dodgers signed for $69 million, is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery Wednesday and is not expected to return until after the All-Star break."
"Roberts, asked why he offered Scott as his answer, paused again. 'Don't have an answer,' Roberts said. 'I honestly don't know.'"
"'For me, I think the closer should stand out among the other guys as far as performance, a clear-cut guy at the back end,' Roberts said."
"'I got to hold her one last time before I got on the plane this afternoon,' Freeman said. 'She's perfect.'"
The Dodgers' manager, Dave Roberts, is uncertain about the team's closer following Edwin Díaz's upcoming elbow surgery. Tanner Scott, who lost the closer role last season, is currently considered but has not established himself. Alex Vesia has also performed well, contributing to the team's saves. Roberts expresses concern over the lack of a clear standout closer, suggesting a potential closer by committee approach. Meanwhile, Freddie Freeman celebrates the birth of his daughter, marking a significant personal milestone for him and his family.
