Tanner Scott To Open Season As Dodgers' Primary Closer
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers have strengthened their bullpen by signing top closers Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates, already bolstered by Blake Treinen's return. Manager Dave Roberts announced that Scott will primarily handle save opportunities this season, reflecting confidence in his impressive performance, boasting a 2.04 ERA and 34 saves over the past two years. Although Yates has more closing experience and solid past stats, Scott's more recent success and contract value direct the Dodgers’ late-inning strategy, raising expectations for Scott's role as a closer.
