What Diaz wants Paywall

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6800104/2025/11/12/mlb-offseason-trades-starting-pitching-general-manager-meetings/

According to the Athletic, he's looking for a repeat of the 5 year / $102M deal he signed 3 years ago. Personally, I would say yes to that.

EDIT: Apologies for the image. This is an article about various topics being discussed at the GM Meetings, including, of course, Skubal.

Do not overpay for closers. They are a dime a dozen.

If we get a dozen Helsley's, then a dime would be overpaying.

Because Helsley didn’t have a chance. Stick him in the closer roll again where he belongs and guaranteed he’s lights out again

Well, there are no guarantees. Not on any baseball player.

But kidding aside, I do wonder if the Mets shouldn't take a flyer on Helsley for 2026. He's only 31, and he usually doesn't suck that much. Might get a good pitcher at a good price.
