Diaz\u2019s contract, combined with existing deferred obligations for other players, raises the Dodgers\u2019 total long-term financial commitments to more than <strong data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"676\">$1.06 billion<\/strong>, spanning nine players.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"984\">The three-year agreement, announced Friday, includes a <strong data-start=\"759\" data-end=\"787\">$9 million signing bonus<\/strong> payable on February 1. Diaz\u2019s base salary is set at <strong data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"864\">$14 million for 2026<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"907\">$23 million each for 2027 and 2028<\/strong>, with the Dodgers deferring <strong data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"961\">$4.5 million annually<\/strong> from those salaries.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1103\">Under the deferred payment structure, the money is paid out in <strong data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1086\">10 equal installments each July 1<\/strong>.

The option is structured to protect the team in the event of injury or surgery.

Last season with the Mets, he recorded <strong data-start=\"3117\" data-end=\"3149\">28 saves in 31 opportunities<\/strong>, posted a <strong data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3174\">6\u20133 record<\/strong>, and had a <strong data-start=\"3186\" data-end=\"3198\">1.63 ERA<\/strong> over 66 1\/3 innings, striking out <strong data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3247\">98 batters<\/strong>. Despite his stellar individual performance, the Mets failed to reach the playoffs even after spending the <strong data-start=\"3355\" data-end=\"3414\">second-highest payroll in the league behind the Dodgers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3419\" data-end=\"3924\">Over nine seasons with <strong data-start=\"3442\" data-end=\"3478\">Seattle (2016\u20132018) and New York<\/strong>, Diaz has accumulated <strong data-start=\"3501\" data-end=\"3529\">253 saves in 294 chances<\/strong>, cementing his status as one of the elite closers of his generation. He previously signed a <strong data-start=\"3622\" data-end=\"3694\">$102 million, five-year contract with the Mets after the 2022 season<\/strong>, which included deferred money payable through 2042. In joining the Dodgers, he gave up <strong data-start=\"3783\" data-end=\"3859\">$38 million he would have been owed in the final two years with the Mets<\/strong>, demonstrating his commitment to a new chapter in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3926\" data-end=\"3964\"><strong data-start=\"3930\" data-end=\"3962\">Implications for the Dodgers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3966\" data-end=\"4467\">Diaz\u2019s signing underscores the Dodgers\u2019 aggressive approach to <strong data-start=\"4029\" data-end=\"4057\">bolstering their bullpen<\/strong>, one of the areas identified as needing improvement. By structuring the contract with deferred payments, the team can maintain <strong data-start=\"4185\" data-end=\"4222\">immediate competitive flexibility<\/strong> while keeping future liabilities manageable over decades. The deal also reflects the modern MLB trend of <strong data-start=\"4328\" data-end=\"4388\">using deferred salaries and creative contract structures<\/strong> to acquire elite talent without immediately exceeding luxury tax thresholds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4469\" data-end=\"4844\">For Diaz, the move represents an opportunity to join a perennial contender and contribute to a team poised for postseason success, while also ensuring long-term financial security through the deferred payment schedule. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Diaz\u2019s presence impacts the Dodgers\u2019 bullpen performance and overall championship aspirations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES \u2014 Edwin Diaz\u2019s Dodgers Contract Pushes Deferred Payments Past $1 Billion Edwin Diaz, the three-time All-Star closer, has signed a deal with the Los Angeles&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":131373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DODGERS IN SHOCK: Team Faces $1.06 Billion in Deferred Payments Through 2047 After Edwin D\u00edaz Deal, Sending Fans and Analysts Reeling.
