The Los Angeles Dodgers have executed a nearly perfect offseason this winter.<\/p>\n

\"Dodgers'<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

They\u2019ve signed Blake Snell, extended Tommy Edman, and recently re-signed Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez. But the Dodgers aren\u2019t done there. They could continue to upgrade their roster, notably the bullpen, before the 2025 season arrives.<\/p>\n

FanSided\u2019s Chris Landers recently predicted the Dodgers would pursue San Diego Padres pitcher Tanner Scott in free agency. Scott is projected to sign for around $50 million and would be a huge addition to Los Angeles\u2019 bullpen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dodgers need one more impact arm in the bullpen given the injury concerns surrounding guys like Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech, and they don\u2019t have a superlative lefty option for Dave Roberts to call on in the highest-leverage spots,\u201d Landers wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott would check both those boxes, one of the game\u2019s foremost whiff artists who sits in the high 90s with a wipeout slider from the left side.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis command will always be a bit of an issue, but he\u2019s gotten it under control enough over the past couple of seasons to emerge as one of the very best relievers in baseball, and it comes with the added benefit of poaching a player from L.A.\u2019s most dangerous division rival.\u201d Scott would be a perfect addition to the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

He would give them a high-leverage lefty who can close down games while also working the seventh or eighth inning as a lefty matchup nightmare.<\/p>\n

Plus, the Dodgers would be stealing him from a division rival, which is always a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
