The San Diego Padres are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Tanner Scott from the Miami Marlins, sources tell ESPN.
ESPN baseball reporter. Covered the L.A. Rams for ESPN from 2016 to 2018 and the L.A. Angels for MLB.com from 2012 to 2016., prone to make shocking moves at this time of year, acquired arguably the best reliever available in the hours leading up to the trade deadline, plucking left-handed closer
In exchange for Scott, a free agent at season's end, the Padres parted with a package of four prospects headlined by starting pitcher Robby Snelling, the 59th-ranked prospect in baseball by ESPN's Kiley McDaniel at the start of the season. Starter Adam Mazur, and infielders Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears also went to the Marlins. The Padres also received right-hander
Scott, of course, was the real prize. The 30-year-old left-hander made his first All-Star team this year and has posted a 1.18 ERA with 18 saves in 44 appearances for the last-place Marlins, striking out 53 batters and issuing 27 walks in 45 2/3 innings. Scott slots into the back end of what has become a dominant Padres bullpen, alongside
Given the Adams acquisition, the thought throughout the industry was that the Padres would pivot to a starting pitcher. The Padres don't know when they'll get back, who is on the injured list with an elbow injury for the second time this season. The Padres could still pivot to a starter before 3 p.m. PT deadline.
Snelling, the 39th overall pick in 2022, is a 20-year-old left-hander with lots of upside but one who has also struggled in Double-A this season, with a 6.01 ERA in 73 1/3 innings. Mazur, 23, struggled through eight starts in the majors this season but has put up a 1.95 ERA in six starts at the team's Double-A affiliate. Beshears, a sixth-round pick in 2023, has slashed .261/.373/.
