Overview
- The Dodgers signed Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million deal to close, one year after committing four years and $72 million to Tanner Scott.
- Tanner Scott’s 2025 line included a 4.74 ERA, an MLB‑high 10 blown saves, and 11 home runs allowed in 57 innings, with a July elbow injury and a lower‑body abscess ending his postseason.
- Manager Dave Roberts described 2025 as an outlier tied to undisclosed physical issues and adjustment challenges, while GM Brandon Gomes cited batted‑ball luck and strong underlying metrics as reasons for optimism.
- MLB.com’s Sonja Chen identified Scott as the club’s 2026 bounceback candidate, and team officials still view him as a late‑inning leverage arm.
- Despite a rough finish, Scott showed a midseason surge by allowing two runs (one earned) with eight saves over 13 appearances, and Los Angeles won the 2025 World Series despite bullpen instability.
