The New York Mets are reportedly taking Edwin Díaz out of their closer role and going with a closer-by-committee approach amid Díaz's struggles to begin 2024. The New York Post first reported the news. The Mets will reportedly keep the committee approach in place until the one-time star closer 'regains his confidence.
Díaz missed the entire 2023 season after tearing his patellar tendon during the 2023 World Baseball Classic, where he participated as part of the Puerto Rico team. Díaz is a two-time All-Star, including in 2022 when he became a fan-favorite as one of the best players on a 101-win Mets team, with his iconic trumpet-heavy walk-up music 'Narcos' etching its place as one of the most popular closer entrances in all of baseball.
