A Miami Marlins reporter says the Baltimore Orioles are in a good spot to land an elite left-handed reliever.
"The Marlins lone All-Star is on an expiring contract, which means he will become a free agent at the end of the 2024 season. The left-hander has been a dominant force in the ninth inning, and could be a fit for any club in contention. The most obvious fit would be a return to Baltimore, who will need left-handed help down the stretch and in the postseason should they qualify.
"Miami and Baltimore had talks during the offseason about Jesus Luzardo so the Marlins have clearly done their homework on the O’s farm system. About a dozen teams have inquired on Scott. He will likely be traded soon, but for now he will wear a Marlins jersey next Tuesday night at the mid-summer classic in Arlington."who's currently on the 60-day injured list. If Baltimore could get Luzardo as a throw-in, he'd be another great fit.
However, it likely doesn't make sense for the Orioles or Marlins to entertain a trade with him in it. Miami isn't going to give him away for nothing, and Baltimore shouldn't move assets for a pitcher who's dealt with multiple injuries. Scott should be the only one they look to land unless they get an offer they can't refuse. He's posted an impressive 1.42 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and has 42 strikeouts in 38.0 innings pitched.
He also played for the Orioles from 2017-2021, so he's familiar with the organization. While plenty has changed since his departure, he at least has some idea of the area and team.
