The Dodgers just keep adding.
They recently finalized a deal with Roki Sasaki, the standout Japanese baseball pitcher, bringing him onboard to join an already strong pitching rotation. The current lineup includes notable names like Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Blake Snell.

And on Sunday, they agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with All-Star closer Tanner Scott in free agency, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
In a significant move, Scott, a skilled left-handed pitcher, was acquired after an impressive season with the Marlins, where he managed 18 saves in 44 games. Although the Mets had shown interest in Scott, even holding discussions, they ultimately signed A.J. Minter instead.
After securing Minter’s services, the Mets opted not to pursue Scott further as they had found another left-handed pitcher to complement Edwin Diaz in crucial game situations.
In recent seasons, the Dodgers’ bullpen — especially at the closer spot — has been one of their glaring weaknesses before it helped shut down opponents en route to the World Series in 2024.
That, with Scott now joining the bullpen, should no longer be the case.
