Was probably the best closer in the
American League in 2018—he certainly had the most saves. The Mets got him the following winter in a
huge blockbuster deal with the Mariners.
The volatile nature of this relationship did not immediately seem like a
match made in heaven, but after a couple of years together, it became a joyous
celebration in 2022 whenever the trumpets played in Queens, signifying Edwin’s
impending arrival at the mound. He
signed the biggest free-agent contract in history for a reliever after that
season, and immediately injured himself during a celebration at the World
Baseball Classic, missing the entire next season and taking the shine out of
his star in the one after that. He's
pictured here on his 2016 Topps Update card.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones
that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I
kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and
den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked
up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at
this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and
maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by
following this link: NYMHall.
