The team announced the signing of the hard-throwing 29-year-old right-handed free agent on Tuesday night, a day after the\u00a0Rangers signed catcher Danny Jansen\u00a0and left-handed reliever Tyler Alexander in free agency.<\/p>\n
D\u00edaz had an 8.15 ERA in 18 appearances combined last season while pitching for Cincinnati, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta.<\/p>\n
In his first three big league seasons with the Reds from 2022-24, D\u00edaz had 75 saves and 3.10 ERA in 190 games. Cincinnati selected him in the 12th round of the 2015 amateur draft out of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
D\u00edaz was 7-3 with 10 saves and a 1.84 ERA in 59 games in 2022, when he finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting. He was an All-Star the next season when he went 9-6 with 37 saves and a 3.07 ERA in 71 appearances.<\/p>\n
Cincinnati traded him in May to the Dodgers, who later designated D\u00edaz for assignment before he was claimed off waivers by the Braves in September.<\/p>\n
D\u00edaz is the younger brother of new Dodgers closer Edwin D\u00edaz, a three-time All-Star who left the New York Mets last week to sign with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team announced the signing of the hard-throwing 29-year-old right-handed free agent on Tuesday night, a day after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-350249","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
