Mets star Edwin Diaz won’t be on a mound this season, but that doesn’t mean he won’t still be looking fly — TMZ Sports has learned he’s just copped a sweet new necklace … that’s worth a quarter of a million dollars!!
The closer — who’s currently on New York’s injured list after tearing up his knee during the World Baseball Classic back in March — hit up Victor Rodriguez, aka Tajia Diamonds, for the piece recently … and the jeweler just finished the product this week.
And, check out the images … it came out awesome!!
Victor Rodriguez
The pendant features a trumpet — a nod to Diaz’s famous “Narco” walkout song — as well as his jersey number 39 … and it’s completely iced out.
Rodriguez tells us it has 75 cts of VS diamonds and F color stones.
As for the chain it sits on … Rodriguez says that’s decked out too — with 100 cts of VS diamonds.
The pitcher also got a custom bracelet to go along with the drip for his neck … and it’s got his No. 39 all over it.
In total, we’re told the bill came out to $250K … but don’t worry, Diaz can certainly afford it — he just inked a five-year, $102 million contract this past offseason.
Speedy recovery, Edwin — can’t wait to see that right arm and chain back in a dugout soon!!!
