MLB Trade Rumors: Marlins' Tanner Scott Interests Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, More

Miami Marlins left-handed closer Tanner Scott has several potential suitors ahead of the July 30 trade deadline.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia Phillies all have "interest" in Scott as a possible trade target.

The 29-year-old has been one of the few bright spots for Miami in 2024, accumulating a 5-4 record to go along with a 1.30 ERA. He's racked up eight saves, striking out 30 batters in 27.2 innings of work.

Scott has improved his play even further as of late, as he hasn't allowed an earned run since April 14. For contending teams that are looking to bolster their bullpen and prepare for a potential World Series push, trading for the lefty seems like a no-brainer.

After Scott won his arbitration case against the Marlins on Feb. 17, he'll enter free agency once the 2024 season concludes. With Miami getting off to a dismal 23-44 start to the season, the front office will likely search for some assets in return for the lefty instead of watching him possibly leave in the winter.

While Philadelphia has jumped out to a hot start to the season with a record of 46-21, the team could use an extra reliever such as Scott for a postseason run. Although the Phillies' team bullpen ERA of 3.59 ranks No. 10 in the MLB, it's currently the second-lowest mark among division-leading teams this year (via MLB.com).

As the Marlins are trending towards a losing season, Scott may find himself on a contending team once the trade deadline passes.
