Overview

  • Tanner Scott, with a 1.18 ERA, is attracting interest from at least six teams, including the Yankees and Dodgers.
  • Scott has not allowed an earned run since June 13, making him one of the most sought-after closers.
  • The Diamondbacks and Mariners are also in the mix, having already made recent bullpen acquisitions.
  • Scott's control issues, including a high walk rate, are noted but do not overshadow his effectiveness.
  • The Marlins are expected to trade Scott as he becomes a free agent after the season.
