Eligibility
Availability
Tanner Scott is set to receive a majority of the save opportunities for the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
There was some uncertainty as to how the Dodgers' bullpen would shake out when Scott was signed, but it looks like he will start the season as the primary closer. He converted 22/24 saves in 2024.
Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes said the team will still manage their late-game bullpen based off matchups.
Fantasy Impact
The Dodgers signed both Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates this offseason. Gomes added that Scott is expected to have “a lot of opportunities to close games.” It appears that both Scott and Yates will see save opportunities.
Tanner Scott has agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
The Dodgers add yet another free agent and bolster their bullpen in the process. Scott is coming off perhaps his best season in 2024 between the Marlins and Padres and should be very much in the mix to be the primary closer for the Dodgers.
The Cubs reportedly remain one of the top suitors for free agent reliever Tanner Scott.
Fantasy Impact
Scott would have a chance to take over the closer role if he signs with the Cubs. He posted a 1.75 ERA with 22 saves last season with the Marlins and Padres.
Tanner Scott delivered a solid performance, striking out three and securing a save in the Padres' 6-2 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one hit and one walk over 1 2/3 innings, maintaining his role as a reliable closer. This outing further solidifies Scott's status in fantasy leagues, especially given his impressive season stats including a 1.54 ERA and 22 saves. His ability to strike out batters at a high rate, combined with a low ERA and WHIP, makes him a valuable asset for fantasy teams needing saves and strikeouts. Owners should continue to deploy Scott with confidence as a top-tier relief option.
