After winning their eighth World Series title in franchise history in 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been aggressive in their out-of-season reinforcements and are aiming for a straight lead. Among them, the bullpen has significantly upgraded its combat power, signing the "Big Valley Killer" left pitcher Scott (Tanner Scott) and the former National League rescue king (Kirby Yates) to strengthen the depth of support, and now it is rumored that coach Dave Roberts (Dave Roberts) has decided to play the role of "Terminator" by Scott in the new season, becoming the team's closing partner for these famous starting pitchers.

In 2024, the Dodge Cowshed will not have a fixed finisher, but will be flexibly scheduled according to the matchup. Evan Phillips finished the season with 18 rescues, Daniel Hudson had 10, and in the last two months of the season, the Dodgers used seven different pitchers to complete the rescues, compared to the Cardinals' Ryan Helsley, a fixed finisher, leading the league with 49 rescues.

According to "The Athletic" reporter Jim Bowden, Dodgers head coach Dave Roberts revealed in a recent interview that Scott is planned to be the main finisher in the new season. Scott will play for the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres in 2024, with a total of 71 appearances, 72 innings, 9 wins and 6 losses, 11 relays, 22 successful rescues, and a defense rate of 1.75. Yates, on the other hand, played 61 games with the Texas Rangers, shot 61.2 innings, won 7 wins, 2 losses, 33 successful rescues, and had a defense rate of 1.17, which is also a stable backup force.

Last year, the Dodgers Cowshed was repeatedly questioned due to injuries and lack of depth, and now the addition of Scott and Yates has made the backup more complete. Commenting on the 2025 season, Roberts said: "It's important to create a good atmosphere in spring training, we have added a lot of players who are hungry to win the title, and the team is still very competitive."

The Los Angeles Dodgers will be a big focus in the 2025 season as the bullpen is fully strengthened, and whether they can successfully defend their title in the new season.
