As part of the blockbuster trade between the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners, in exchange for unloading Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak along with top Mets prospects Justin Dunn, Jarred Kelenic and Gerson Bautista, the Mariners are sending their All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to the Queens, along with Robinson Cano and cash considerations.
Diaz is what many are considering to the be the cornerstone of the trade, as he is one of baseball’s hot young talents who has caught the league by storm in just three years in the majors.
