The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be active ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. One area of focus is the bullpen, mainly due to Scott's struggles, as he has allowed eight homers with a 4.09 ERA this season. Despite a large four-year, $72 million contract signaling the Dodgers’ confidence in him, Scott has underperformed and currently leads MLB in saves blown. The front office aims to acquire an additional high-leverage reliever to strengthen the bullpen as the team looks to maintain their championship potential.
Scott's struggles - he has allowed eight homers with a 4.09 ERA, compared to three homers with a 1.75 ERA last season for Miami and San Diego.
The sizable contract for Scott emphasized the Dodgers' belief that the left-hander would be a key piece in the bullpen this season.
With Scott leading MLB pitchers in saves blown with a total of seven on the season, it appears the Dodgers will look to acquire one more high-leverage arm.
