Mets' Edwin Díaz Predicted To Exit Contract Early To Chase More Money
The New York Mets have been playing poorly as of late, and they need to turn things around in a hurry. This could be the last year that some of their star players are with the team. The Mets could lose both Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz in free agency. Both have player options for next season. Alonso will likely find a lucrative long-term deal in free agency after agreeing to a two-year deal last offseason, with the second year being a player option. However, Díaz is in year three of a five-year contract. He has an opt-out after this season which would lock him in through 2027, plus a club option for 2028. Should he opt in, the Mets could be in line to keep the closer for three more seasons. However, The Athletic's Jim Bowden predicted Díaz would opt out of his deal and find more money. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 04: Edwin Díaz #39 of the New York Mets reacts after pitching a strikeout in the ninth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Citi Field on August 04, 2025... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 04: Edwin Díaz #39 of the New York Mets reacts after pitching a strikeout in the ninth inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Citi Field on August 04, 2025 in New York City. More"Díaz is back to his dominant self this season. Since April 23, he has given up just two earned runs over 36 appearances," wrote Bowden. "Overall, he has a 1.57 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Díaz holds $18.5 million player options for 2026 and 2027, and the Mets have a $20.4 million club option for 2028, but the three-time All-Star will likely opt out in November. When they play 'Narco' by Timmy Trumpet and Díaz heads to the mound at Citi Field, the crowd goes crazy and excitement doesn't stop until he retires the side, which he usually does. But he won't need the music when he reaches free agency to again get paid as one of the top closers in the game." Last season, Díaz had a 3.52 ERA and did not look like himself after missing all of 2023. However, now he looks like a superstar closer once again. He was named an All-Star this year and is having one of his best seasons. More MLB: Phillies Predicted to Move On From 2-Time All-Star After Just 1 Season

British 'drug mule' Bella Culley says she was 'tortured' into smuggling
A British teenager being held in a Georgian prison held out her scarred wrists in court as she claimed she was tortured until she agreed to smuggle drugs. Bella Culley, 19, broke down in tears at Tbilisi City Court,as she pleaded not guilty to charges of possession and trafficking illegal drugs. The student nurse, from Billingham, County Durham, went missing in Thailand before she was arrested 3,7000 miles away at Tbilisi International Airport on May 10 for allegedly smuggling a large amount of illegal drugs in her suitcase. Her lawyer, Mr Malkhaz Salakaia, said Bella had been threatened with a hot iron to force her into trafficking 12kg of marijuana and 2kg of hashish. Bella, who is 18 weeks pregnant, showed her scarred wrist to the court, telling the judge: 'I did not want to do this. I was forced to do this through torture. 'I just wanted to travel. I am a good person. I am a student at university. I am a clean person. I don't do drugs.' Mr Salakia said the teenager was not aware of what was in her luggage and she had allegedly tried to approach a policeman for help but he was part of the criminal group too. He said: 'She was instructed to fly to Georgia – she did not even know where Georgia was located geographically.' He claimed his client was told she would be met by people in Tbilisi airport but she was instead intercepted by a customs officer. More Trending Her father, aunt and grandfather were all in attendance at the pre-trial hearing. As she left in tears, her family told her: 'Try not to worry. Good girl.' Bella has been held at a Georgian prison for 52 days and has been refused bail. Judge Lela Kalichenko remanded her in custody until the next court hearing on July 10. She faces a life sentence – at least 15 years – in the Georgian capital's infamous Prison No.5. A 2006 Human Rights Watch report found the former Soviet prison was 'severely overcrowded', while the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment called conditions there 'an affront to a civilised society'. A FCDO spokesperson told Metro: 'We are supporting a British woman who is detained in Georgia and are in contact with her family and the local authorities.'
