9/10/24	Edwin Diaz has found his Mets groove again. TORONTO — Edwin Diaz's season was headed south and taking the Mets with him after he got beat in a second straight appearance last month in Arizona. The questions from earlier this season when Diaz struggled began to resurface: Had he lost his confidence? Was he physically sound? Since that Corbin Carroll grand slam against Diaz on Aug. 28, which sent the Mets to a crushing defeat — only three days after the Padres' Jackson Merrill beat him with a home run in the ninth inning — the closer was again on a streak of untouchability as play began Tuesday. 3 Mets pitcher Edwin Diaz reacts during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds.

8/09/24	Edwin Diaz returns to Seattle for first time since 2018 blockbuster. SEATTLE — Since his trade from the Mariners, Edwin Diaz hadn't returned to his old stomping ground wearing a Mets uniform. That changed Friday, when Diaz finally got back to T-Mobile Park. Diaz arrived to the Mets after the 2018 season with Robinson Cano in the trade that sent Jarred Kelenic, Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak, Justin Dunn and Gerson Bautista to the Mariners. Diaz, who was drafted and developed by the Mariners, recalled the discussions when he was approached in the minor leagues about shifting from a starter to reliever.

8/07/24	Edwin Diaz converts rare save opportunity as Mets try to find closer work. DENVER — Edwin Diaz's save opportunities have been scarce lately, but the Mets closer has converted when asked. On Wednesday, he secured only his second save since July 22 by getting the final three outs in the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field.

7/23/24	Mets' Jake Diekman put struggles aside to meet daunting Aaron Judge challenge. The Mets were doing their level best to be considerate guests Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. They left half of Rego Park on base across nine innings. They made some odd choices on the base paths, which is really the kindest word possible to describe those misadventures. They weren't exactly auditioning for the Gold Glove voters on the other side of the ball. They may have even brought over a case of beer and some appetizers. Damn good neighbors, the Mets. And now the bullpen gate swung open at Yankee Stadium and here came the ultimate hostess gift: It wasn't Edwin Diaz trotting in for the ninth inning, down after a 28-pitch outing Monday, working three times in four days. It was Jake Diekman. Source: https://nypost.com/2024/07/24/sports/mets-jake-die...
7/22/24	Edwin Diaz works out of jam to close out Mets' win: 'Didn't feel nerves'. MIAMI — Edwin Diaz thought he was about to start a game-ending double play.

7/12/24	Mets Notebook: Bullpen nearing much-needed rest, Sean Reid-Foley progressing. Finally, the Mets are nearing the end of a stretch of games that has continually threatened to break the bullpen. With the All-Star break beginning Monday, an overtaxed, underperforming group of relievers will finally get a reprieve after 17 games without a day off.

7/06/24	Mets should swing trades for relievers to make playoffs a reality. The Mets should be buyers. Here comes the proviso: They actually have a little more time to make the final decision, and if they are in the midst of yet another downturn, then their play and the standings will scream about the proper course to follow. If you need a refresher on how volatile the NL wild-card picture is: The Mets had a 7.9 percent playoff chance through June 2 (Fangraphs), a 46.9 percent through July 2, and a three-game losing streak heading into Saturday dropped it to 29.3. That is how real-time sensitive the races are.
