Dodgers Were Reportedly Finalists Before San Diego Padres Acquired Star Closer

The Los Angeles Dodgers were reportedly a finalist for closer that the San Diego Padres acquired.

The Los Angeles Dodgers missed out on top pitching target Tanner Scott after their division rivals, the San Diego Padres, acquired Scott from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

Between the two trades, the Padres gave up eight prospects: left-handed pitcher Robby Snelling, right-handed pitcher Dylan Lesko, right-handed pitcher Adam Mazur, infielder Graham Pauley, outfielder Homer Bush Jr., infielder Jay Beshears and catcher J.D. Gonzalez in exchange. What makes the combination of Scott and Suarez particularly potent: Scott is a left-hander and Suarez is a right-hander, allowing San Diego to choose their closer based on who's due to bat for their opponent.
