Edwin Diaz’s wife Nashaly has over 100 million reasons to celebrate.
The Mets signed their closer to a five-year contract worth $102 million, the most money ever signed for by a relief pitcher, earlier this week.
Nashaly celebrated her husband’s record accomplishment on Instagram.
“Today we celebrate this great achievement you have worked so hard for 🎉🎺,” she wrote, according to a Google translation from Spanish. “Honey, I’m so proud of you. I have been part of the whole process, I have seen your training and preparation on and off the field. After so many years of sacrifice today we see the fruit of all your effort and you deserve it. We love you and we are so proud of you 😍. Congratulations my love @ sugardiaz39 🎺.”
The trumpet emojis are a nod to Timmy Trumpet, whose song “Narco” has become Diaz’s trademark walk-up music.
The couple was accompanied by their two young children in Nashaly’s celebratory photo.
