Edwin Díaz’s entrance for his Los Angeles Dodgers debut was absolutely epic, captivating the entire baseball world with its cinematic, trumpet-blasting grandiosity.

Unsurprisingly, New York Mets fans everywhere despised the entire spectacle (or pretended to), especially due to the inner conflict it provoked. While Mets fans love to troll Díaz for the way he left Queens, a part of them had to smile inside at the objectively magnificent entrance on Friday night. It was as electric as it was theatric, something that New Yorkers can naturally appreciate.

It didn’t help a collection of coping Mets fans that Díaz also snagged the first save of his Dodgers career on Friday night. He followed that up with another save on Friday.

Also, for Díaz haters looking to tear down his entrance as pretentious or over-the-top, Díaz already beat you to the punch, admitting on Friday that he started laughing when he heard the trumpet. Well played, Edwin, well played.

It’s been a tough go for Mets fans intent on disliking Díaz since he decided to make Los Angeles home. Every milestone, big and small, seems to end with Díaz smiling and bitter Mets fans confused as to why their hatred of Díaz is only reflecting on themselves. We saw this when Díaz donned a Dodgers uniform in a photo for the first time this past offseason, prompting a weird troll-fest from a segment of Mets Nation.

We’ve heard the same sentiment from voices on New York sports radio praying on Díaz’s downfall in Dodger blue.

Unless Díaz has a perfect 2026 season, there will surely be moments for Mets fans to relish in a blown save or even a costly passed ball. When the Dodgers host the Mets for a three-game series starting April 13, things will get interesting on the Díaz front, and they’ll be even spicier when LA visits Citi Field in late July.

It certainly feels like Mets supporters are thinking about Díaz more than he’s thinking about the Mets. Remember, this is a guy who just wanted to win, and he cited that motivation as the reason for his employer change this past winter. Furthermore, the Mets’ leadership didn’t exactly do everything in their power to make Díaz feel as welcome as possible, whether you want to discuss their firing of a pitching coach he was close with, or their lack of communication with Díaz about the Devin Williams signing.

Díaz wasn’t in the wrong for leaving, and his trumpet-fueled entrance with the Dodgers is absolutely iconic. Mets fans must know deep down that both of these things are true.
