The Dodgers simply preserve including.
On Thursday, they secured an settlement with Roki Sasaki — the star Japanese pitcher — and added him to a rotation that already contains Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell.
And on Sunday, they agreed to a four-year, $72 million cope with All-Star nearer Tanner Scott in free company, The Submit’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
Scott, a left-hander who collected 18 saves throughout 44 appearances with the Marlins final 12 months earlier than getting dealt to the Padres on the deadline, was the top-remaining reliever obtainable and drew curiosity from the Mets — together with a gathering — earlier than they signed A.J. Minter earlier this week.
The Mets had been unlikely to proceed pursuing Scott as one other high-leverage arm to pair with Edwin Diaz after securing Minter, who can be a left-hander.
In latest seasons, the Dodgers’ bullpen — particularly on the nearer spot — has been one in all their obvious weaknesses earlier than it helped shut down opponents en path to the World Sequence in 2024.
