Los Angeles Dodgers closer Tanner Scott had a rough first season in LA, but general manager Brandon Gomes revealed the Dodgers are giving the southpaw another chance to prove himself as their closer in 2026.
Scott signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Dodgers ahead of last season, but severely underperformed during his 61 appearances on the mound. He had a 4.74 ERA last season — his highest since 2021 — and failed to convert 10 of his 33 save opportunities.
