You know who might fix struggling Mets closer Edwin Diaz?
None other than Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez.
“Don’t be surprised if I show up in Puerto Rico and do a little work with him,” Martinez said during a midtown lunch Tuesday in which he helped promote TBS’s upcoming MLB playoff coverage. “Or have him come over to the Dominican and do a little with him. I feel bad to see such a young player struggling like that.”
Martinez knows Diaz well. He is connected to him via Martinez’s friends, Robinson Cano and Carlos Beltran.
“For sure,” Diaz said before the Mets faced the Marlins on Tuesday about wanting to work with Martinez.
