Tanner Scott, a leading reliever in the MLB free-agent market, has signed a significant four-year contract worth $72 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This contract places Scott among the highest-paid relievers, trailing only Edwin Díaz's $102 million deal with the New York Mets. Scott has demonstrated exceptional performance, including a 1.75 ERA over the last season, and outstanding postseason statistics, where he struck out seven in five innings without allowing any runs.

The Dodgers have been active this offseason, enhancing their roster after winning the 2024 World Series. Along with Scott, Los Angeles secured starting pitcher Blake Snell, extended utility player Tommy Edman, and added outfielder Michael Conforto. This aggressive approach positions the Dodgers as a formidable contender for the upcoming season, despite their projected payroll exceeding $375 million.
