The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a significant addition to their bullpen by signing closer Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract. Scott, who previously pitched for the Miami Marlins, recently faced his former team and achieved a noteworthy milestone by striking out the 500th batter of his career.

In a post-game interview, Scott revealed that he was unaware of his achievement until informed by his wife. Interestingly, he did not request the baseball commemorating this milestone, reflecting his focus on future performance rather than past accomplishments. With a stellar 2.40 ERA in 2025, Scott is already proving to be a key asset for the Dodgers, contributing significantly to their pitching staff amidst recent injury challenges.
