The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to add big name after big name this offseason.
A day after landing Japanese pitching star Roki Sasaki, the Dodgers added to their bullpen when they agreed to terms with Tanner Scott.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the deal is for four years and $72 million. MassLive’s Sean McAdam reported the closer could get something in the four-year, $80 million range, which is essentially what the Dodgers will pay him.
The Boston Red Sox were linked to Scott in the offseason despite signing Aroldis Chapman. It’s unclear if Chapman will be Boston’s closer, but once the team signed him, Scott seemed unlikely.
Scott had a dominant 2024 season that saw him amass a 1.75 ERA in 72 games between the Miami Marlins and the San Diego Padres.
The left-hander joins the defending World Series champions as they continue to be the team to beat in MLB. The Dodgers also signed two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell this offseason before they added Sasaki.
