With the 2024 Major League Baseball season coming to an end, the tides will switch to free agency and seeing where some big-name players end up.
The Los Angeles Dodgers took care of the New York Yankees to win the World Series in five games.
Some big names will be testing the waters in free agency this offseason including Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and Anthony Santander.
Although there are some huge names in free agency, MLB analyst Chris Gimenez says that left-handed relief pitcher Tanner Scott is an intriguing free agent to watch.
“To me, he’s one of the more intriguing offseason free agents,” Gimenez said.
After his postseason dominance against Shohei Ohtani, will the #SFGiants be the top suitor for Tanner Scott?

Scott came over to the San Diego Padres from the Miami Marlins during the 2024 regular season, and he appears to have made a name for himself during the postseason.
Gimenez points out that Scott was able to completely neutralize Shohei Ohtani in the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.
Scott appeared in four games in the NLDS throwing 3.0 innings and allowing two hits, zero earned runs, and one walk while striking out five.
Gimenez points out that the San Francisco Giants could be a potential buyer on Scott as they are division rivals with the Dodgers and Scott is a left-handed pitcher.
The Giants could potentially have their closer for the next few years and it would allow them to have a left-on-left matchup with both Ohtani and Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers.
It will be interesting to see if Gimenez is right and the Giants go after Scott this offseason.
