Dodgers need to stop using Edwin Díaz in

Put away the trumpets. Pack them up, put them in the attic, allow them to gather some mud.

Nobody desires to hear them.

Nobody desires to be subjected to one more triggering, off-key notice of an Edwin Díaz dirge. Not anytime soon, not in any high-leverage moments for the foreseeable future.

Not after the Dodgers’ nearer blew another save Thursday, his third in 4 appearances.

Not after another Díaz catastrophe class. This time, after he trotted in to Timmy Trumpet’s “Narco” as ordinary, he gave up 4 consecutive hits and coughed up a two-run lead before getting yanked in a 5-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium. It spoiled Max Muncy’s pinch-hit home run in the sixth inning that staked Díaz to a 4-2 lead.

Díaz was the high-profile free agent the Dodgers signed to lock down the ninth inning for the next three seasons, inking him to a $69-million deal to do it, a file for relievers.

He has an ERA of 11.57 for the season. And in the 5⅔ innings since returning from a process to take away “loose bodies” in his proper elbow, he has given up 12 hits and three walks. On Thursday, he left all people in the stands rooting for the Dodgers up in arms, booing.

Those of us may still be booing when they hear what Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts said saltily postgame: “Give me another option … I can’t just say change him to low-leverage. I have to have options.”

So plan a search social gathering, do it by committee.

Or give the ball back to Tanner Scott. He isn’t excellent, but has 16 saves and was serviceable filling in for Díaz before he was activated off the injured listing on July 29.

Just don’t give the ball to Díaz.

Not while the 32-year-old right-hander is flailing. Not while he’s flustered and pissed off — which you’ll’t spell without rust, though even Roberts acknowledged, “I don’t know how long you can use the rust thing, which I’ve certainly used.”

Go with anybody but Díaz, who has been the most important disappointment of this Dodgers’ trek toward what they hope is a three-peat.

He’s not the only disappointment: Mookie Betts is hitting worse than ever before in his profession while another newcomer, $240-million man Kyle Tucker, is hitting just .236 with 11 home runs. Fittingly, he flied out for the ultimate out and went 0 for 4 on Thursday.

But Díaz was heralded as the best reliever on the free-agent market when the Dodgers signed him.

Instead, he’s making a run at Worst Reliever in the Game.

His slider hasn’t been sliding. He’s been constantly inconsistent. His location has been spotty — or proper down the center, and as he confirmed and told Thursday: “I was throwing my fastball right in the middle. When you miss in the middle, you pay.”

And, like Roberts, Díaz doesn’t know the reply, just that “I just gotta sit down with the pitching coaches to see what I’m missing and what they say to see if we can fix it and keep working hard.”

In a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, he stood with his arms on his hips and confronted the music — and the details, saying he’s prepared to relinquish his nearer position if Roberts desires to strive another option.

“I just gotta see what they wanna do,” Díaz said. “I wanna do the best thing for the team. At the end of the day, if they give me the ball in the ninth I will try to do my job. If they give me the ball in another inning, I will try to do my job.”

Roberts would like he do the job for which he’s being paid so richly: “Everyone’s got a role, they all have jobs to do, and they all have to do their job. That’s it.”

But Díaz hasn’t been up to the job. He had a 10.50 ERA in seven shaky appearances before he went on the IL on April 20.

It can look like the Dodgers print money with all their high-priced gamers, but they could as nicely be lighting it on fire with the relievers they’ve introduced in.

For them, the idea of the high-priced reliever needs to be an oxymoron. Because being fooled once is a disgrace; being fooled twice — that’s moronic.

In 2025, they signed Scott — then thought-about maybe the best reduction pitcher on the free-agent market — to a four-year, $72-million contract.

And he blew his alternatives like a trumpet too, ending last season with a 4.74 ERA (second-worst of his profession) and 1.263 WHIP with 60 strikeouts through 57 innings. He didn’t pitch for the Dodgers in the playoffs.

Now they’ve received the Díaz debacle to deal with before the postseason, when it seems to be just like the Dodgers, if they don’t have their big-name nearer to rely on, will again be compelled to discover other choices.
