Part 6/14:
- The qualifying offer attached to Diaz helps the Mets’ position, potentially restricting suitors and inflation from rival teams like the Dodgers.
The Dodgers’ Position
Early reports suggest the Dodgers are less inclined to pursue Diaz vigorously this offseason, especially given their reluctance to commit long-term to Kyle Tucker or Kyle Schwarber. This diminishes immediate rival threat and benefits the Mets' chances to re-sign Diaz, as they are perceived as the most logical and committed option.
