The Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant move by signing left-hander Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract, despite Andrew Friedman's usual caution with free agent relievers. Scott is expected to play a crucial role in the bullpen, potentially serving as a go-to closer, although the team's strategy will focus on matchup-based decisions for each game. With Scott, Anthony Banda, and Alex Vesia, the Dodgers have strengthened their relief options with a good mix of lefties and righties, enhancing their competitiveness for the upcoming season.
I think Tanner is going to get a ton of opportunities to close games, but the biggest thing is how it fits together to handle the back end.
With the addition of Scott, alongside Anthony Banda and Alex Vesia, Los Angeles has three southpaws in their bullpen.
