Signs contract extension
Diaz has secured an extension of his contract with Minnesota United through the 2030/31 season, with an option for 2031/32, the club announced Thursday.
Analysis: Diaz's link with Minnesota is now guaranteed for the next five years, reflecting the confidence the team has placed in one of its most consistent defenders. He's currently expected to retain a starting role throughout the 2026 campaign, where he has already made 19 MLS appearances, delivering one assist and racking up 71 clearances, 30 tackles and 20 interceptions in that span.
Notches four crosses
Diaz had four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta United.
Analysis: Diaz started in the defense Wednesday but still helped out in the attack a bit, notching one chance created and four crosses in the loss. He would also add two tackles and three clearances in the defense, although it was not enough to stop Atlanta. He remains an everyday starter, earning 17 starts in 18 appearances.
