Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman revealed that his team only seriously considered signing Diaz after the Mets brought in Williams. “He was at the top of the list, but starting the offseason we just didn’t think it was that realistic,” Friedman told SportsNet LA on Friday after welcoming Diaz to Los Angeles.
ESPN has announced its first Major League Baseball game next season will be on April 15. The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the New York Mets on Jackie Robinson Day.
Another day, another free-agency blow for the Mets. Robert Suarez, one of the top relievers on the market, has agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract with the rival Braves, the team announced. There are no deferrals in the deal, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman.
