"The Los Angeles Dodgers made many notable signings during the offseason, and they concluded it by adding the two relievers who were believed to be the best available options on the free agent market in Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates. Scott signed a four-year, $72 million contract after establishing himself as one of the top closers in baseball, while Yates joined the Dodgers on a one-year deal worth $13 million after an All-Star campaign."
"I think however many pitches he threw, most of them were quality pitches. He tried to go up and in to Goodman, left it down and gave up the homer. So I think for me, looking at the outing in totality, just feel there were a lot more good throws than bad throws."
The Dodgers signed relievers Tanner Scott (four-year, $72 million) and Kirby Yates (one-year, $13 million) to bolster the bullpen. Both have struggled early; Scott owns a 4.47 ERA across 50.1 innings and has blown nine saves in 30 chances. Yates has a 4.70 ERA in 38.1 innings and has allowed eight homers, five more than last season despite pitching fewer innings. Yates allowed a ninth-inning homer and a hard double in a recent game but recorded a scoreless inning the next day. Yates carries a 6.43 ERA in eight appearances since coming off the injured list and has not regained the effectiveness of his splitter.
