New York Mets pitcher Edwin Diaz is the new owner of $250,000 worth of jewellery in tribute to his walkout song and number 39 jersey number.
Diaz, 29, is recovering from a knee injury which will keep him out until next year, and is clearly spending that newfound time treating himself to custom-made accessories. The Puerto Rico international is likely out for the 2023 season after completely tearing his right patellar tendon.
The initial timescale for a return was six to eight months. It came only four months after agreeing to a contract extension with the Mets. Diaz signed a five-year, $102 million deal with the franchise to make the two-time All-Star the highest-paid relief pitcher in MLB history.
