Following the New York Mets victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night, manager Mickey Callaway raised plenty of eyebrows when he confirmed he was not going to use closer Edwin Diaz in non-save situations, specifically tie games when the Mets are on the road or for more than three out saves. Callaway described this line of thinking as an “organizational philosophy” which is simply an outdated way of thinking.
Diaz is one of the most electric and high-end bullpen arms the Mets have possibly ever had in franchise history.
