2 months agoThe New York Yankees are one of six contending teams said to be prominently involved in trade talks for Miami Marlins All-Star left-hander Tanner Scott, who hasn't allowed an earned run since June 13 and is the most coveted closer on this year's trade market. The Baltimore Orioles, Scott's former team, are among five more teams also at the front of the pack seeking the best closer that is surely to be dealt by Tuesday's deadline. The Phillies, Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Mariners are believed to be going after Scott, too. Scott will be a free agent after this year and has a stingy 1.18 ERA and has held opponents to a .127 batting average. Current Yankees closer Clay Holmes also made the All-Star team this year but has a 7.14 ERA since June 13. He's been an above-average closer for the Yanks, but he's also blown seven of 28 save chances in 2024.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
