FACTS/FLUKES: E. Díaz, Valdez, Y. Díaz, Ahmed, N. Lowe

Year-to-year inconsistency makes Díaz a volatile saves option... Any managers who have rostered Edwin Díaz (RHP, NYM) over the last three seasons have seen quite a wild ride, from the highs of 2018's 57 saves and 1.96 ERA to the lows of 2019's 5.59 ERA. 2020 offered a bit of both worlds, as he briefly lost the closer role, but also posted a career-best 1.75 ERA. Do his skills offer any insight into what to expect going forward?
