Dodgers Rumors: Edwin Diaz's Contract Includes More Than $13 Million In Deferrals

The Los Angeles Dodgers came to an agreement on a three-year, $69 million contract with free agent closer Edwin Díaz to provide a major boost to their bullpen. The $23 million average annual value (AAV) of the contract set a new record for relievers, surpassing the $20.4 million mark Díaz received in his last deal with the New York Mets. It is the second major contract the Dodgers have handed out to a relief pitcher in as many years, following the signing of Tanner Scott last offseason.
