PHOENIX — Mets owner Steve Cohen said this week he found it “perplexing” that star closer Edwin Díaz left New York for the Dodgers this winter. But on Saturday, in his first media session of spring training, Díaz made the decision sound simple when asked about Cohen’s comments. “I was a free agent, so I got the chance to talk with everyone, and I think the Dodgers did a great job recruiting me,” said the 31-year-old right-hander, who signed a three-year, $69 million deal with the Dodgers that includes the highest annual salary for a reliever in MLB history.
