The Los Angeles Dodgers have made headlines again by signing Tanner Scott, the top relief pitcher available in free agency, to a hefty four-year, $72 million contract. This move raises some eyebrows, especially considering Scott's late-blooming success and the potential risks involved.
Is this a smart investment for the Dodgers, or are they overreaching for a player who might be entering his decline phase? Scott's impressive velocity increase and reduced home run rate are certainly appealing, but can he maintain this level of performance over the next four years?
Let’s dive into the details. The Dodgers have a history of maximizing player potential, but is there a chance they might be banking too much on Scott's recent improvements? What do you think about the structure of his contract, especially with the deferred payments?
Bold prediction: If Scott falters, could this be a deal that haunts the Dodgers in the coming seasons? Or do you believe they have the right coaching staff to keep him at the top of his game?
