MLB Rumors: Dodgers Interested in Devin Williams Trade, Tanner Scott Contract

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly interested in multiple options to improve the team's bullpen.

According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, the Dodgers are eyeing free-agent reliever Tanner Scott after he made the first All-Star appearance of his career in 2024. Los Angeles is also interested in a potential trade involving Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams.

The Dodgers are attempting to add "at least one more" reliever over the offseason, per Ardaya.

Los Angeles' desire to add Scott has been apparent, as the Dodgers were one of the finalists to land him ahead of the 2024 trade deadline before he was ultimately dealt to the San Diego Padres (via Jon Heyman of the New York Post).

In 72 combined games with the Padres and Miami Marlins last season, Scott compiled a 1.75 ERA while striking out 84 batters in 72 innings of work. He also looked sharp during San Diego's National League Division Series appearance, allowing zero earned runs in 4.1 postseason innings pitched.

Jim Bowden of The Athletic projected Scott to land a four-year, $60 million deal in free agency.

The Brewers declined Williams' $10.5 million club option for 2025, but he'll remain under contract with the team in his final year of arbitration (via ESPN's Jeff Passan). Still, his uncertain future in Milwaukee could result in a change of scenery.

Williams has been a consistent threat in the Brewers' bullpen since winning National League Rookie of the Year in 2020, owning a career ERA of 1.83.

In 22 appearances during his 2024 campaign, the 30-year-old posted a 1.25 ERA and 0.969 WHIP. Williams also averaged an incredible 15.8 strikeouts per nine innings, although his season came to an end by allowing a game-winning home run to the New York Mets in the NL Wild Card Series.

The Dodgers have already been active throughout the offseason so far, signing All-Star starter Blake Snell as well as outfielder Michael Conforto.

As Los Angeles attempts to add a high-leverage reliever, Scott and Williams appear to be its top options.
