However, he also has to prove that he is still the best closer to his own family. Diaz, a 30-year-old flamethrower for the New York Mets, has yet to throw an MLB pitch since signing his five-year, $102 million deal in November 2022, just shy of the end of his second All-Star season. He was showing why Steve Cohen paid the extra to keep him in Queens, beating out Ketel Marte, Jean Segura, and Teoscar Hernandez in the ninth order to exile the Dominican Republic and send his team to the quarterfinals in the following March. He leapt in elation, but as he came to earth, he broke his patellar tendon and ended his season before it had begun.
