, although it’s fair to say no one enthusiastically celebrates a spring training victory, except maybe the Marlins.
Baseball is a stressful game, even if it’s usually not a contact sport. Injury lists are crowded. Most of them look like the 6 train at rush hour. This is devastating for Diaz, who is one of the most beloved people in their clubhouse, a consistently positive force with a sweet nature and unbreakable loyalty. This isn’t good for anyone of course, and the freak nature of it, coming as it did in a very brief celebration following a WBC victory for Puerto Rico, is especially galling.
He is one of the game’s three best closers, along with Emmanuel Clase and Josh Hader, and based on his nearly perfect 2022 season, I’d rank him ahead of those other two. He will be missed for the “Narco” song that got Citi Field rocking. But he will be missed mostly for that fastball/slider mix that proved unhittable in his special season of 2022.
