.With the Seattle Mariners motivated to trade aging second baseman Robinson Cano and the five years and $120 million left on his deal, the Mariners are also exploring attaching All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to a deal, and plenty of teams are interested. The Mets, Yankees, Braves, Phillies and Red Sox are expressing the strongest interest in Diaz, though not all of them are willing to take on Cano as well. It could come down to which team is willing to take on more of Cano's unappetizing contract. Diaz led the majors with 57 saves in 2018 and had a marvelous 1.96 ERA and an average of 15.2 strikeouts per nine innings, so he'll require decent prospects in return. Diaz is young and has four years until free agency, making him extremely attractive to contenders.

.Seattle Mariners closer Edwin Diaz needs two saves to become second on the all-time single-season list for saves in a season heading into the final games of 2018. Diaz has not had a save since September 17 and currently has 56 for the season. It has been an elite season for the right-hander but unfortunately the Mariners ran out of gas in pursuit of the playoffs. He has pitched only 8 1/3 innings in the month of September and has a 2.16 ERA with 13 strikeouts in that span. In the end, Diaz has enjoyed a breakout season and will head into the final weekend of the regular season with a 1.99 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP, a .159 opponents batting average and 121 strikeouts in only 72 1/2 innings.

Diaz struck out two batters in the scoreless frame and now has 117 strikeouts in only 67 1/3 innings pitched.
