MLB Trade Rumors: Marlins' Tanner Scott Eyed by Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, Orioles

A handful of teams are reportedly eyeing Miami Marlins reliever Tanner Scott, per the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

According to Heyman, the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles are among the teams interested in Scott, though Heyman noted "many others" are also interested in him.

Scott, who has spent the past three seasons with the Marlins, has recorded 36 strikeouts and 11 saves across 34 games this season. Through 35 innings pitched, he has a 1.54 ERA, which is good for the second-best number of his eight-year career.

Scott has emerged as one of baseball's top closers this season, and a handful of contenders could benefit from adding him to the bullpen. The Phillies, Dodgers, Orioles and Yankees lead the majors in team ERA, but bringing in a pitcher who is guaranteed to get swings and misses in late innings would be huge as the four teams look to compete for a World Series.

Scott has been one of the only bright spots for a struggling Marlins team this year. Miami is currently sitting at 29-52 on the year and has virtually no chance of reaching the postseason.

Given their current situation, the Marlins could consider trading away Scott in exchange for future pieces. They already traded second baseman Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres for a handful of prospects, and Scott could be the next Marlin on the move.
