  • Why Yankees Aren’t Pursuing Top Left-Handed Reliever Tanner Scott


    All indications are that the New York Yankees‘ top priority at this point in the offseason is signing a left-handed reliever.

    The Athletic’s Brendan Kuty revealed in a January 15 article that there are three southpaws the Yankees have expressed interest in.

    “As of Tuesday, the team’s biggest priority seemed to be adding a left-handed reliever, with names such as Tim Hill, Brooks Raley and Andrew Chafin each being discussed, according to a league source,” Kuty wrote.

    While all three of these relievers would be great additions for the Yankees, conspicuous by his absence is Tanner Scott. During the 2024 regular season with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres, Scott posted a 9-6 record with a 1.75 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched.

    The Yankees reportedly met with Scott earlier this month. However, a January 16 article from MLB.com conveyed why he isn’t currently among their top left-handed relief targets.

    “The top reliever left on the open market, Tanner Scott, is also left-handed. But with the Yankees’ estimated luxury tax payroll at about $303 million, per FanGraphs’ Roster Resource — which is slightly above the highest luxury tax threshold for the 2025 season — they seem to be looking at more cost-effective arms such as that aforementioned trio,” the article wrote.

    “The Yankees could give themselves some financial flexibility by trading starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, who is owed $18.5 million this season and has an $18 million vesting option for 2026… Even if they do find a match, they could use those savings to address their opening at second base rather than bring in a top-flight reliever.”

    This money-saving sentiment certainly makes sense, especially considering the Yankees already traded for elite closer Devin Williams this offseason (and also still have Luke Weaver).

    But New York fans would not have complained if Scott was also brought to the Bronx.





    There has been much speculation and anticipation surrounding the New York Yankees’ pursuit of top left-handed reliever Tanner Scott. However, it appears that the Yankees are not actively pursuing Scott for a number of reasons.

    One of the main reasons for the Yankees’ lack of pursuit of Scott is their current bullpen depth. The Yankees already boast a strong bullpen, with left-handed relievers like Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman anchoring the group. Adding Scott to the mix would likely be redundant and unnecessary, especially considering the hefty contract he would likely demand.

    Additionally, Scott’s inconsistent performance and high walk rate may be a cause for concern for the Yankees. While Scott has shown flashes of brilliance on the mound, his lack of control and tendency to give up free passes could be a liability in high-pressure situations, particularly in the postseason.

    Furthermore, the Yankees may be focusing their attention and resources on other areas of need, such as starting pitching or infield depth. With limited financial flexibility and a competitive free agent market, the Yankees may be prioritizing other areas of their roster over adding another left-handed reliever.

    Overall, while Tanner Scott is undoubtedly a talented pitcher, it seems that the Yankees have chosen to pass on pursuing him for the time being. Only time will tell if this decision pays off for the Bronx Bombers in the long run.

  • Cubs sign lefthanded reliever Caleb Thielbar

    Cubs sign lefthanded reliever Caleb Thielbar


    Caleb Thielbar is probably not a name you had on your Cubs bingo card for this offseason, but the team signed him to a one-year deal Tuesday. The terms of the deal are not yet available.

    Thielbar has a 3.38 ERA in eight MLB seasons, all with the Twins. This was in two stints, from 2013-15 and then again from 2020-24. In the interim years he pitched in indy ball and in the affiliated minor leagues.

    In 2024 with the Twins, Thielbar posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.563 WHIP in 59 appearances. That isn’t so good, it was worth -0.6 bWAR. In previous years he threw better than that in Minnesota.

    The oddest thing about this deal is that Thielbar will turn 38 years old a month from now. The Cubs must be convinced he can give them a year of decent production. In his MLB career he has a 3.38 ERA and 1.188 WHIP in 347 appearances.

    His K rate is still good (10.1 per nine innings) but his walk rate was up last year, whereas in previous years he had a good walk rate. Here is his pitch mix via Baseball Savant:

    Here’s hoping for the best from the Cubs’ newest lefthander. With this signing, the 40-man roster is full.



    The Chicago Cubs have added a new arm to their bullpen, signing left-handed reliever Caleb Thielbar. Thielbar, who last pitched in the majors for the Minnesota Twins in 2020, brings a wealth of experience and a solid track record to the Cubs’ bullpen.

    The 34-year-old southpaw has a career 3.47 ERA in 109 MLB appearances, with 98 strikeouts in 95.1 innings pitched. Thielbar is known for his ability to get left-handed hitters out, making him a valuable asset in late-game situations.

    With the Cubs looking to bolster their bullpen for the upcoming season, Thielbar provides a reliable option from the left side. His presence should help shore up the team’s relief corps and provide added depth for manager David Ross to call upon in key moments.

    Cubs fans will be eager to see Thielbar take the mound in the team’s iconic pinstripes, as he looks to make a positive impact and help lead the team to success in the 2022 season. Welcome to Chicago, Caleb Thielbar!
