Edwin Diaz has been doing his best impression of a reliever from the Washington Nationals all season. In the New York Mets loss to the Nats, he was once again tagged for another home run on a hanging slider. It was the 11th one this year, setting a career high he does not want.
What is Next For Diaz?
The Mets have to make a clear decision on what their bullpen direction is. Either they continue trying to guide Diaz through the ninth inning or they move on from him as their closer.
