With new addition-Tanner Scott to man […]

When looking back on the 2025 season of Michael Conforto with hindsight, one realizes that the Dodgers were using Conforto to answer a question that was quickly rendered moot: what do the Dodgers do if Teoscar Hernandez decides to sign with Toronto or elsewhere?

Tarik Skubal has been the talk of the town regarding star players on the trade block, and the Dodgers are certainly in the mix for his services.

In hindsight, if one squints hard enough, the acquisition of Tanner Scott made sense. The 2024 Dodgers had a bullpen that overachieved, but was getting a bit long in the tooth with Blake Treinen as the de facto closer.
