“We’re glad to have AP on board,” Diaz said. “I’ve known him since he was around eight years old, and he’s always been an outstanding young man and a very good player. It’s been great watching him grow up, and now we are happy to have him as a member of our Bulldog family. Alex has a great future ahead of him.”
