USA Today's Bob Nightengale writes that the best reliever on the trade market this summer will be Miami Marlins left-hander closer Tanner Scott. The Marlins are asking a considerable amount for Scott but believe it will be met by the July 30 trade deadline. The 29-year-old southpaw reliever has had a strong year for fantasy managers with a 1.50 ERA (3.69 FIP), a 1.14 WHIP, 12 saves, 38 strikeouts and 23 walks in 36 relief innings for the Fish this year, but if Scott is traded, he's not expected to take over the closer's role for a contending team to close out the second half of the season. He'd surely maintain relevance as a high-leverage reliever in holds leagues, though. The Yankees, Orioles and Phillies are three teams that are expressing interest in acquiring Scott for their bullpens.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Royals. Scott came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by one. He got the first out on a fly-out, allowed a single, and got the final two outs on a line-out and a ground-out. The 29-year-old has converted all but two save opportunities with a 1.59 ERA and a 9.26 K/9 rate in 34 innings of work. However, walks have returned as a big issue, as Scott has a 6.09 BB/9 rate. Additionally, he has not seen as many save opportunities as higher-end closers because of the Marlins' poor performance. His fantasy value may be limited, but he should continue to be a useful fantasy option in roto leagues.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott earned his sixth save of 2024 in Wednesday's win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, fanning one and allowing one hit before locking down the shutout victory. William Contreras singled to get Christian Yelich to the plate and make things interesting in a one-run ballgame, but Scott got Yelich to ground out to wrap this one up. The 29-year-old left-hander remains manager Skip Schumaker's preferred ninth-inning man despite the return of fellow southpaw A.J. Puk to Miami's bullpen, and he hasn't surrendered an earned run in 14 straight appearances with five saves during this span. Scott owns a dicey 22:18 K:BB through 21 innings overall, however, and he could be on the move at July's trade deadline with many anticipating for the Marlins to host a fire sale later this summer. That makes Scott a sell-high piece in fantasy leagues.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his second save in two days on Sunday, closing out the Chicago Cubs in a 6-3 win. Scott has gotten his season back on track in the past week, picking up three saves while allowing only two hits and two walks. Another big indicator that Scott might be returning to form is that he hasn't walked a batter in his last two appearances after walking an astronomical 12 batters in his first eight appearances. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by the results and have a little more confidence in Scott when determining lineups for next week.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his third save of the season in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Scott gave up two singles to start the ninth but then retired the next three batter to avoid damage and seal the win without giving up a run. The 29-year-old hasn't gotten many opportunities for closes this season with the Marlins reeling, but he is now three-for-four in close situations and has a 3.72 ERA. Scott will look to pick up at least one more save this weekend with game two of the Saturday doubleheader happening tonight and the series finale against the Cubs happening on Sunday.
