The Dodgers signed Edwin Díaz to a $69 million, three-year deal to bolster their bullpen and replace Kenley Jansen as closer.

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed free-agent closer Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million deal on December 12, 2025, officially introducing him at Dodger Stadium. The 31-year-old, known for his high-velocity fastball and 28 saves with a 1.63 ERA in 2024, joins the team to replace Kenley Jansen as the primary closer. Díaz, who previously played for the New York Mets, will wear number three, switching from his usual 39 in honor of Roy Campanella. The move strengthens a bullpen that struggled with a 4.27 ERA and 27 blown saves in 2024. The Dodgers, defending back-to-back World Series champions, view Díaz as a key addition in their pursuit of a three-peat.
