Reactions are still coming in following the shocking news of Edwin Díaz leaving the New York Mets after six seasons and joining the reigning back-to-back champion Los Angeles Dodgers. We’re starting to get a better picture of what led the All-Star closer to take his talents out west.

On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman get into the offer that the Mets made to try to keep Díaz. While they fell short on the dollars side, some are left wondering if the reliever simply wanted to join Los Angeles instead. The question now is: Where do the Mets go from here?

Later, Jake and Jordan talk about super-agent Scott Boras giving his annual address at the Winter Meetings, where he discusses all of the big free agents he's trying to secure deals for. Then the guys talk about all the other transactions that went down in Orlando, including the Chicago White Sox winning the MLB Draft lottery and getting the first overall pick in next year’s draft.
