Dodgers land closer Scott for $72M, sources say
Written by I Dig Sports
Closer Tanner Scott and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a four-year, $72 million contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Sunday.
It's the latest offseason splash for the Dodgers, who also are signing prized Japanese pitching prospect Roki Sasaki, who announced the news on social media Friday.
Scott, 30, was 9-6 with 22 saves and a 1.75 ERA last season pitching for the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.
When Scott's deal is made official, the Dodgers' luxury-tax payroll for 2025 will exceed $375 million, which is approximately $70 million more than the next-highest team, Philadelphia.
The Yankees are the only other team with a competitive balance tax payroll projected to be over $300 million.
