The conversation takes an unexpectedly lively turn with stories of off-field incidents, notably involving Edwin Diaz. Rumors circulated about Diaz participating in a fight while wearing a Dodgers jersey—a detail that drew both skepticism and humor.
“Is this fight legal? Or is it some sort of illegal boxing ring?” one asks, referencing a media report. It appears the incident occurred in Puerto Rico, where the legality of such events is complex due to local laws and cultural claims.
