Reports: Dodgers to sign coveted closer Tanner Scott to 4-year deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed closer Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract, enhancing their roster after major offseason moves.
Tanner Scott was a top relief pitcher last season, recording a 1.74 ERA and 22 saves for the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.
Former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen expressed interest in returning to the team, but the signing of Scott makes that unlikely.
The Dodgers' payroll for 2025 will exceed $375 million, significantly higher than other teams, reflecting their strong commitment to winning.
