MLB Twitter reacts to New York Mets star closer Edwin Diaz looking forward to winning a ring: "Guess he’s gonna have to keep looking"

The New York Mets are built to be championship contenders in 2023, and for Edwin Diaz, winning it all is the expectation. He is right to have faith in his team, which won 99 games last season and narrowly lost the National League East. The Mets spent the offseason going on a spending spree the likes of which the MLB had never seen.

With their success from last year and roster additions in the offseason, the Mets are one of the top teams in baseball. They have a robust pitching staff, strong top-end offensive players and extraordinary depth. Edwin Diaz is not lacking in the confidence department, nor should he be based on how good the Mets can be.

Fox Sports shared comments from Diaz on his expectations for the season via Twitter.

Confidence is warranted, as are fans who doubt the New York Mets. They play in one of the toughest divisions in baseball. Going up against the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves for the division crown will be no easy task. The rest of the National League is no joke either, with the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers being bona fide contenders.

The New York Mets made great moves this offseason, bringing in star pitchers Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga. They should have one of the best starting pitching rotations in the game, as well as an elite closer in Diaz. The whole world knows that anything less than a World Series championship will be seen as a failure for the Mets.

Diaz pitched for an incredible ERA of just 1.31 last season and established himself as the best closer in the world. His entrance music made him a fan favorite in New York. However, fans around the league clearly aren't as warmed up to him as Mets fans are.

Edwin Diaz will be crucial to the New York Mets' success in 2023, particularly in clutch time.

A team could not hope for a better group of pitchers to be on one team. If they can stay healthy, their dominance will be easily recognizable. It should take a lot of pressure off the Mets' offense and enable them to win close games.

The Mets are among the favorites to win it all in 2023, something that Edwin Diaz clearly knows. Embracing the challenge should help himself and the team step up and reach the goals they have set for themselves.
