The Boston Red Sox could soon see one of their offseason targets come off the board.
Tanner Scott is weighing “several multi-year offers” and may choose his team by this weekend, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The Chicago Cubs are among his top suitors, per the report.
Scott, 30, is among baseball’s best relievers, combining for a 2.03 ERA across the last two seasons with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres. Scott earned his first All-Star nod in 2024, and is expected to parlay his successes into a three- or four-year contract with an average annual salary that could approach $20 million.
Chicago is interested, per Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic, though that salary might be too rich for their blood. Boston could very well be in the same boat.
“We’ve been actively engaged in conversations, we’ll continue to do that and feel like there’s an opportunity to add to the bullpen,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said last weekend.

What do you think, Red Sox fans? Is Tanner Scott still an option?
With free agency looming for many MLB players, one popular target for the Boston Red Sox is nearing a decision on his future. The Red Sox have been linked to outfielder Nick Castellanos, who is set to hit the open market this offseason.
Castellanos had a standout season with the Cincinnati Reds in 2021, hitting .309 with 34 home runs and 100 RBIs. His offensive production and versatility in the outfield have made him an attractive option for many teams, including the Red Sox.
With the Red Sox looking to bolster their lineup for the 2022 season, Castellanos could be a major addition to their roster. However, the competition for his services is expected to be fierce, with several other teams showing interest in the 30-year-old slugger.
As Castellanos weighs his options and considers his future, Red Sox fans will be eagerly awaiting his decision. Will he choose to join the storied franchise in Boston, or will he sign elsewhere? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – the Red Sox are keeping a close eye on this popular free agent target. Stay tuned for updates as the offseason progresses.
