""I think we've seen it in the past with guys, there is reliever volatility," Gomes said to reporters. "Unfortunately, we've seen this happen in the past with other great relievers. So our full belief is that Tanner is 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 games.""
""The Dodgers signed Scott after a dominant 2024 season in which he made his first career All-Star appearance and finished with a 1.75 ERA across 72 innings with 84 strikeouts and 22 saves. The Dodgers paid him to be their closer, but unfortunately, things didn't exactly pan out. Scott led the league with 10 blown saves and didn't factor into the team's postseason.""
Tanner Scott signed a $72 million deal with the Dodgers after a dominant 2024 season that included an All-Star appearance, a 1.75 ERA, 72 innings, 84 strikeouts and 22 saves. The Dodgers intended to use him as their closer, but Scott struggled in 2025, making 61 appearances with a 4.74 ERA and 23 saves while leading the league with 10 blown saves. A fluke injury requiring an abscess incision affected his postseason availability, and he was not used in the playoffs or highly trusted by the manager. Strikeout rate fell and hard-hit and opponent batting averages on his four-seam and slider rose. Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes expressed belief in a rebound, citing reliever volatility and past recoveries.
