Already satisfied with a starting rotation that includes Cy Young winners, All-Stars and one of the biggest Japanese pitching prospects to ever cross the Pacific, the reigning World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers have now turned their attention to the bullpen.

As reported by MLB.com and ESPN, the Dodgers are in agreement on a four-year, $72 million deal with former San Diego Padres reliever Tanner Scott – a hard-throwing southpaw with a lively four-seam fastball and challenging slider. Scott was phenomenal between stops in Miami and San Diego last season, posting a 1.75 ERA (earned-run average) for the season with an impressive WHIP (walks and hits per inning) of just 1.125.

Keep in mind, the Dodgers already have elite relievers such as Blake Treinen (1.93 ERA in 2024), Brusdar Graterol (2.45) and converted starter Michael Kopech (2.54 ERA in 24 innings with the team last season). And with the recent additions of top-end starters such as former San Franciso Giants ace Blake Snell and 23-year-old Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki, not to mention the returns of injured hurlers like Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow, rival fans are beginning to freak out.
‘Geez,’ one fan groaned on X. ‘Should we even have a 2025 MLB season? Might as well give the Dodgers the repeat trophy right now.’.
