""We have a ton of options," Gomes said. "Obviously, as we saw as the season played out, different guys emerge. We have a lot of guys that we trust at the back end. So what that all looks like I think will kind of come out of who's available and what makes sense for us.""
""He certainly is one of the guys in that group," Gomes said. "We've seen it in the past. There is reliever volatility. Unfortunately, we've seen this happen in the past with other great relievers. So we fully believe Tanner's gonna come back and have a great year for us next year and be right there in the mix to pitch at the back end of the games.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen struggled late in the 2025 season and the team is not pursuing Pete Fairbanks as a closing option. Pete Fairbanks has pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays since 2019 and recorded a career-high 27 saves in 2025 with a 2.83 ERA, marking his fourth season under a 3.00 ERA. The Dodgers signed Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract before 2025, but Scott's role was questioned after poor performances. General manager Brandon Gomes expressed confidence in Scott and multiple internal relievers, citing reliever volatility and roster flexibility. If a new closer is not added, the Dodgers will rely on internal options to stabilize the back end.
