Now, to get things heated up, let's talk about an important move that almost happened at the MLB trade deadline. You’ll want to know all the details of this story that shook up the Dodgers' front office. So, who’s the player that could have had a huge impact on our bullpen? Let’s find out in a moment!
The Los Angeles Dodgers were close to acquiring All-Star reliever Tanner Scott before he was traded to the San Diego Padres. The Padres made a significant move, giving up multiple prospects to secure Scott and his teammate Bryan Hoeing from the Miami Marlins. This trade came right after the Padres added right-hander Jason Adam from the Tampa Bay Rays.
In total, the Padres traded away eight prospects, including left-handed pitcher Robby Snelling and right-handed pitcher Dylan Lesko, among others. The Dodgers were in the mix for Scott, who has emerged as one of the top closers in Major League Baseball. Besides the Dodgers, teams like the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, New York Yankees, and Philadelphia Phillies also showed interest in Scott.
Scott, a 30-year-old left-hander, made his first All-Star appearance this season, boasting a record of 6-5 with a 1.18 ERA and 18 saves through 44 games. His addition to the Padres' bullpen, alongside incumbent closer Robert Suarez, creates a formidable duo, combining a lefty and a righty to effectively match up against opposing batters.
Despite missing out on Scott, the Dodgers made several key acquisitions before the trade deadline. They brought in reliever Michael Kopech, center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, and starting pitcher Jack Flaherty. Flaherty, who has a 7-5 record and a 2.95 ERA, will strengthen the Dodgers' starting rotation, which already includes Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow.
With the Padres now just 5.5 games behind in the National League West race, the competition between these two rivals is heating up as the postseason approaches. The coming months promise to be exciting for fans as both teams vie for playoff positioning.
So, Dodgers fans, what do you think about this near acquisition of Tanner Scott? Will the new additions ensure our top spot in the division? Share your thoughts in the comments!
