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.  It 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 NY 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 following one.  He's pictured here on his 2016 Topps Update card.  More cards are shown below.

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.
