The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing controversy with reliever Edwin Diaz, who has been linked to illegal cockfighting in Puerto Rico. Reports indicate that Diaz, while in a Dodgers uniform, promoted cockfighting events on social media and was photographed at a cockfighting arena, despite the sport being federally banned since 2019. Diaz, who signed a three-year, $69 million contract, has struggled this season with a 10.50 ERA and is currently on the injured list. The situation raises concerns over his conduct amidst his poor performance.
