Tayler Scott was brought into Oakland mid-season when the A’s needed the pitching help, and he actually did a nice job out of the pen in just about a month's work. Unfortunately for Scott, there was never much of a long-term spot for him on the staff as he was optioned to Triple-A and is now a free agent.
How Acquired?
Scott was claimed off waivers from the Boston Red Sox on July 19, 2023.
What were the expectations?
A team needing pitching depth at the time, the A’s expected Scott to eat up innings in the back end of their bullpen.
