BULLPEN HELP COULD BE ON THE WAY!


Let’s talk lefties and why Tanner Scott should be the Yankees’ next big bullpen move. 

Look, the Bronx needs a wrecking ball in the 'pen to pair with Luke Weaver, who—admit it—has been shockingly amazing. Enter Tanner Scott: a human cheat code with a fastball-slider combo so filthy it should come with a hazmat warning. If the Yanks land Scott, we’re talking about a 1-2 punch that could have hitters running back to the dugout, crying for their moms in my opinion.

The man clocked a 1.75 ERA, fanned 84 batters in 72 innings, and picked up an All-Star nod. That’s not just dominant—that’s “don’t touch my plate” dominant. Scott was no walks, no drama, just strikeouts and vibes. Exactly what we need after watching the bullpen implode like a bad TikTok trend.

Now, I hear you: “But we have Luke Weaver as our closer!” Sure, Weaver’s been solid, but why stop there? The Yankees weren’t exactly pinching pennies after passing on Juan Soto’s 16-year deal. Sixteen years! That’s longer than most marriages, and by Year 3, the Mets will be stuck paying for a guy hitting .214 while complaining about Citi Field’s dimensions. Classic Mets move.

Back to Tanner Scott. This guy has bounced from Miami to San Diego, mowing down hitters like it’s his full-time job—because it is. Fastball-slider, bat-missing magician, lefty specialist—he checks every box. Pair him with Weaver, and suddenly, Yankee fans can actually enjoy the last three outs of a game instead of clutching their chest like a heart attack is imminent.

Scott’s addition would make our Yankee bullpen great. So, Brian Cashman, stop overthinking it and give us Tanner Scott. Do it for us fans for crying out loud.

Stay tuned.
