The Los Angeles Dodgers' greed is endless. They are trying to build the strongest team in the "global defense team." Another top bullpen pitcher is imminent.

Bob Nightingale, a reporter for the U.S. media "USA Today," announced on his SNS account on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time), "The Dodgers signed a four-year $72 million contract with Tanner Scott and reached a tentative agreement with free agent (FA) closer Kirby Yates while waiting for the results of the medical test."

Yates is a quality bullpen pitcher with a career-high 3.17 ERA with 26 wins and 21 losses and 95 saves and 52 holds. In 2019, he had a career-high season with five losses and 41 saves and an ERA of 1.19, in 60 games for the San Diego Padres. Since then, however, he has played in only 15 games for three years from 2020 to 2022, undergoing surgery to break bones in his elbow and connect his ligaments to his elbow. He skipped all of 2021.

For the Atlanta Braves in 2023, he rebounded from 61 games with 7 wins, 2 losses, 9 holds, 5 saves, and an earned run average of 3.28, and last year with the Texas Rangers, he completely revived with 71 games with 7 wins, 2 losses, 33 saves and an earned run average of 1.17. He has been named an All-Star twice in his career.

On the 20th, the Dodgers signed bullpen pitcher Tanner Scott, who throws more than 160 kilometers of fastballs as left-handers, to a four-year contract of $72 million. Last year, he had a special record of 9 wins, 6 losses, 22 saves, 11 holds, and an ERA of 1.75 in 72 games with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.

In particular, his strength stood out against Shohei Ohtani. Last year, he had one hit from nine times at bat and a batting average of 111. The Dodgers started building a perfect team, embracing Ohtani's natural enemy.스포츠토토

The "defending champion" Dodgers is making sweeping efforts to strengthen its power in all directions to build a dynasty. It signed Blake Snell, a starting pitcher who played for the San Francisco Giants for one year and declared himself an FA by opting out, for a five-year deal worth 182 million U.S. dollars.

Tommy Edman who contributed to winning the World Series last year has signed a five-year, 74 million-dollar contract extension, and Teoscar Hernandez, who became a free agent, has been brought back for three years and 66 million-dollar. He has also acquired Michael Confoto, an outfielder, for 17 million dollars per year.

The Dodgers signed Kim Hye-sung, who challenged the Major League through posting, to a maximum of 22 million U.S. dollars for three plus two years. In addition, it successfully acquired Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki as a down payment of 6.5 million dollars in an international amateur contract.

Not only that, but also the closing pitcher, who was selected as an All-Star last year and made 33 saves, joined the team to reinforce the back door. Reporter Bob Nightingale said, "The Dodgers, which have a total annual salary of more than $380 million, wanted to strengthen their bullpen depth as bullpen pitcher Michael Kopech is likely to miss the first month of the season."

Kopech, the right-handed fastball bullpen that recorded four wins, six saves and eight holds with an ERA of 1.13 in 25 games since being traded from the Chicago White Sox, the last team in the league, to the Dodgers last year, has been found to have forearm inflammation. "Kopech's elbow is not structurally damaged, but only inflammation. However, the Dodgers plans to be cautious in the early stages of the season," said Nightingale.
