The team announced that Timmy Trumpet, the artist of the song, will be in attendance at Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and if Diaz does pitch, he will perform the song live as Diaz runs out from the dugout.
The trumpets gained fame last year, but Diaz is by far baseball's best closer this year. His prowess on the mound has made Timmy Trumpet's "Narco" into Spotify's top song on their Viral 50.
With Diaz's dominance, the song has become synonymous with him and has now grown notorious.
