The Dodgers are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, and the recent announcement from Dave Roberts about Tanner Scott stepping in as the main closer has sparked some intriguing discussions. After a rollercoaster 2024 season that culminated in a World Series victory, the Dodgers are looking to build on that momentum.
With Scott coming off a stellar season, boasting a 1.75 ERA and 22 saves, it raises some interesting questions about the future of the Dodgers' bullpen. Will Scott be able to maintain that level of performance under the pressure of being the designated closer? And how will the addition of Kirby Yates, who also had a strong season with 33 saves, impact the dynamics of the bullpen?
Moreover, the Dodgers' strategy of using multiple pitchers for saves last season was quite unconventional. Do you think this approach will continue to evolve, or will the team revert to a more traditional closer role if Scott struggles?
Let’s not forget the backdrop of the Dodgers' recent acquisition of Shohei Ohtani, which adds another layer of expectation. How do you think Ohtani's presence will influence the team's overall performance and the pressure on players like Scott?
As we look ahead, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers in 2025? Will they defend their title successfully, or do you see another team in the NL West rising to the challenge? Share your thoughts, experiences, and insights!
