Tanner Scott: Dodgers Overpay or Savvy Investment?
The Dodgers continue their spending spree, inking Tanner Scott to a 4-year, $72 million deal. Is this a smart move or are the Dodgers throwing money around like it's going out of style? Scott's strikeout potential is undeniable, but his control issues have haunted him in the past. Has he truly turned a corner, justifying this hefty price tag, or are the Dodgers setting themselves up for another expensive disappointment? Weigh in, folks! Overpay or underpay?
Several other teams reportedly showed interest in Scott. The Orioles and Red Sox seem to have balked at the length of the contract. Are they being fiscally responsible or missing out on a potential game-changer? The Blue Jays also pursued Scott but ultimately signed Jeff Hoffman. Was this a savvy alternative or a sign that the Jays are unwilling to compete with the big spenders?
This signing raises bigger questions about the current relief market. Are teams overvaluing relievers? With so much year-to-year volatility in bullpen performance, is it wise to commit such significant resources to the back end of the bullpen? Are there better ways for teams like the Dodgers, Red Sox, and Blue Jays to allocate their resources?
Let the debate begin!
