Dodgers continue offseason dominance, sign All-Star reliever
As the Los Angeles Dodgers stormed toward the World Series last October, one weakness was consistently brought up for the Boys in Blue: relief pitching.
It didn’t prove to be a hindrance to the squad as they rolled the New York Yankees in five games to clinch another title, but that’s not stopping the Dodgers’ front office from improving the bullpen.
The Dodgers signed left-handed reliever Tanner Scott on Sunday, as first reported by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
Scott made four appearances against the Dodgers in last year’s National League Division Series as a member of the San Diego Padres. The Padres acquired him before the MLB trade deadline from the Miami Marlins.
The contract is for $72 million over four seasons, according to Feinsand.
Scott was an All Star last season as a member of the Marlins, before the trade. He finished the season with an outstanding 1.75 ERA with 22 saves in 72 innings pitched.
He played his first five seasons for the Baltimore Orioles.
Now, Scott has a chance to chase a title for the defending champions in L.A. He’s the latest addition for the Dodgers, who have had a masterful offseason stacking the roster.
Scott joins Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki and Korean second baseman Hyeseong Kim as major signings this offseason for the Dodgers. They also re-signed fan-favorite slugger Teoscar Hernandez, who posted the best season of his career in 2024.
